7 and the surpassingness of the revelations. Therefore, so that I should not be over-exalted, a thorn in my flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan, that he might buffet me, so that I should not be over-exalted.

8 Three times I entreated the Lord for this, that it might depart from me.

9 And He has said to me, “My grace suffices for you, for the power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, rather, I will boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

10 Therefore I am well pleased in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions and difficulties—for Christ; for when I may be weak, then I am powerful.
