For though I would desire to glory,
I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth:
but now I forbear, lest any man should think
of me above that which he seeth me to be,
or that he heareth of me And lest I should be exalted
above measure through the abundance of the revelations,
there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger
of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above
measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice,
that it might depart from me. And he said unto me,
My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength
is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore
will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power
of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take
pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities,
in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for
when I am weak, then am I strong.
II Corinthians 12:6-10
