Exegesis
The final prepositional phrase eis humâs {εἰς ὑμᾶς | eis humâs} “toward you” gives a directional focus, indicating that this divinely empowered life is directed to the Corinthian believers. This chiastic parallel of weakness and power, first in Christ and then in the community, reinforces Paul’s theological emphasis on divine strength revealed through apparent weakness.
In context — 2 Corinthians 13:4
For He was crucified out of weakness , yet He lives by the power of God . For we also are weak in Him, yet we will live with Him by the power of God in our dealings toward you.
