The Thorn in the Flesh

⁷ And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a ^(A)thorn in the flesh was given to me, ^(B)a messenger of Satan to ^[a]buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.

⁹ And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly ^(A)I will rather boast in my infirmities, ^(B)that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

⁸ Then he went up from there ^(A)to Penuel and spoke to them in the same way. And the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.

²⁵ Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He ^[a]touched the socket of his hip; and ^(A)the socket of Jacob’s hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him.

²³ The sun had risen upon the earth when Lot entered Zoar.

¹⁵ When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, ^(A)“Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city.”
