2 Corinthians 12:7-12

7orG2532 because of theseG3588 surpassingly greatG5236 revelationsG602.

SoG1352 toG2443 keep me from becoming conceitedG3361G5229,1 IG1473 was givenG1325 a thornG4647 inG3588 my fleshG4561, a messengerG32 of SatanG4567, toG2443 tormentG2852 meG1473. 8Three timesG5151 I pleaded withG3870 theG3588 LordG2962 toG2443 take it awayG868 fromG575 meG1473. 9ButG2532 He saidG2046 to meG1473, “MyG1473 graceG5485 is sufficientG714 for youG4771, forG1063 My powerG1411 is perfectedG5055 inG1722 weaknessG769.” ThereforeG3767 I will boastG2744 all the moreG3123 gladlyG2236 inG1722 myG1473 weaknessesG769, so thatG2443 theG3588 powerG1411 of ChristG5547 may restG1981 onG1909 meG1473. 10That is whyG1352, for the sakeG5228 of ChristG5547, I delightG2106 inG1722 weaknessesG769, inG1722 insultsG5196, inG1722 hardshipsG318, inG1722 persecutionsG1375, in difficultiesG4730. ForG1063 whenG3752 I am weakG770, thenG5119 I amG1510 strongG1415.

11I have becomeG1096 a foolG878, but youG4771 droveG315 meG1473 to it. In factG1063, youG4771 shouldG3784 have commendedG4921 meG1473, sinceG1063 I am in no way inferiorG3762G5302 to thoseG3588 “super-apostlesG5228G652,” evenG2532 thoughG1487 I amG1510 nothingG3762. 12TheG3588 marksG4592 of aG3588 trueG3303 apostleG652—signsG4592, wondersG5059, andG2532 miraclesG1411—were performedG2716 amongG1722 youG4771 withG1722 greatG3956 perseveranceG5281.
