2 Corinthians 12:7

Expanded Bible

⁷ So that I would not become too proud ·of the wonderful things that were shown to me [or because of these extraordinary revelations; ^Cthis phrase may be part of the previous sentence], a ·painful physical problem [^Lthorn in the flesh] was given to me. This problem was a messenger from Satan, sent to ·beat [torment; harrass; trouble] me and keep me from being too proud.
