2 Corinthians 12:7-9

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.
