I love this discussion.
The verse
Ether 12:27
27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.
Is obviously borrowed from:
2 Corinthians 12 9,10
9But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Read verse 1-12 for the entire context. Also see other Pauline references to the same words of weak weakness strong power perfect. My opinion is that weak = mortal/man and strong/power/perfect = Godly or inheriting God's strength.
Weakness is bigger than I have a weakness for chocolate. It capsulizes the entire human experience.
