especially because of the extraordinary revelations. Therefore, so that I would not exalt myself, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to torment me so I would not exalt myself.
I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening. The next morning I did just as I was commanded.
Up to the present hour we are both hungry and thirsty; we are poorly clothed, roughly treated, homeless;
by riots, by labors,
by sleepless nights, by times of hunger,
I’m talking like a madman—I’m a better one:
with far more labors,
many more imprisonments,
far worse beatings, near death
so that no one will be shaken by these persecutions. For you yourselves know that we are appointed to this.
