2 Corinthians 12:6-10
6ForG1063 thoughG1437 I would desireG2309 to gloryG2744, I shallG1510 notG3756 beG1510 a foolG878; forG1063 I will sayG2046 the truthG225: butG1161 now I forbearG5339, lestG3361 any manG5100 should thinkG3049 ofG1519 meG1473 aboveG5228 that whichG3739 he seethG991 meG1473 to be, orG2228 that he hearethG191 ofG1537 meG1473.
7AndG2532 lestG2443 I should be exalted above measureG5229 through the abundanceG3588G5236 of the revelationsG3588G602, there was givenG1325 to meG1473 a thornG4647 in the fleshG3588G4561, the messengerG32 of SatanG4566 toG2443 buffetG2852 meG1473, lestG2443 I should be exalted above measureG5229.
8ForG5228 this thingG3778 I besoughtG3870 the LordG3588G2962 thriceG5151, thatG2443 it might departG868 fromG575 meG1473.
9AndG2532 he saidG2046 unto meG1473, MyG1473 graceG3588G5485 is sufficientG714 for theeG4771: forG1063 myG1473 strengthG1411 is made perfectG5048 inG1722 weaknessG769. Most gladlyG2236 thereforeG3767 will IG2744 ratherG3123 gloryG2744 inG1722 myG1473 infirmitiesG3588G769, thatG2443 the powerG3588G1411 of ChristG3588G5547 may restG1981 uponG1909 meG1473.
10ThereforeG1352 I take pleasureG2106 inG1722 infirmitiesG769, inG1722 reproachesG5196, inG1722 necessitiesG318, inG1722 persecutionsG1375, inG1722 distressesG4730 forG5228 Christ’s sakeG5547: forG1063 whenG3752 I am weakG770, thenG5119 am IG1510 strongG1415.
