2 Corinthians 12:7-10

Sawyer(i) 7 (3:8) And that I might not be elated with my extraordinary revelations, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, an angel of Satan to beat me, that I should not be too much exalted. 8 For this I besought the Lord thrice that it might leave me. 9 And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you; for power is perfected in weakness. 10 Most gladly, therefore, will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Wherefore I am well pleased with infirmities, with injuries, with necessities, with persecutions, with distresses for Christ; for when I am weak, then am I strong.
