Paul » Has "a thorn in the flesh,"
By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively. Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me. He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
but you know that in physical weakness I preached the Good News to you the first time; and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
