2 Corinthians 12:7-10 ▼

7 even because of the extraordinary character of the revelations. Therefore, so that I would not become arrogant, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to trouble me--so that I would not become arrogant.

8 I asked the Lord three times about this, that it would depart from me.

9 But he said to me, |My grace is enough for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.| So then, I will boast most gladly about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may reside in me.

10 Therefore I am content with weaknesses, with insults, with troubles, with persecutions and difficulties for the sake of Christ, for whenever I am weak, then I am strong.
