2 Corinthians 12:1-10 — Paul's Vision and His Thorn
2Cor.12.1-10
1I must boast; it not being profitable , however, I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—was caught up to the third heaven. 3And I know such a man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows— 4that he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not permitted for a human to speak. 5On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in weaknesses . 6For if I should desire to boast, I will not be a fool, for I will be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so that no one will credit me with anything beyond what he sees in me or hears from me, 7and because of the extraordinary greatness of the revelations. Therefore , so that I would not be exalted , a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to torment me, so that I would not be exalted. 8Concerning this, I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10Therefore I am content in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions and difficulties, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
