Paul’s Thorn
2 Corinthians 12:7
To keep me from becoming conceited because of these
surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my
flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.
(8) Three times I pleaded
with the Lord to take it away from me.
(9) But 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.
(10) That 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.
