A Thorn in the Flesh

⁷ Because of the surpassing greatness of the ^(A)revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a ^(B)thorn in the flesh, a ^(C)messenger of Satan to ^[a]torment me—to keep me from exalting myself!

⁹ And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for ^(A)power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather ^(B)boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
