2 Corinthians 12:7-12

7AndG2532 byG2532 reasonG1352 ofG4561 theG3588 exceeding greatnessG5236 ofG4561 theG3588 revelationsG602—whereforeG1352, thatG2443 IG1473 shouldG2443 notG3361 beG2532 exalted overmuch, there was givenG1325 toG2443 meG1325 a thornG4647 inG2532 theG3588 fleshG4561, a messengerG32 ofG4561 SatanG4567 toG2443 buffet meG1325, thatG2443 IG1473 shouldG2443 notG3361 beG2532 exalted overmuch.

8ConcerningG5228 thisG3778 thingG3778 IG1473 besought theG3588 LordG2962 thrice, thatG2443 itG3778 mightG1473 departG868 fromG575 meG1473.

9AndG2532 heG2532 hath saidG3004 unto meG3004, MyG1722 graceG5485 is sufficientG714 forG1063 thee: forG1063 myG1722 powerG1411 is madeG3004 perfect inG1722 weaknessG769. MostG3123 gladlyG2236 thereforeG3767 willG2532 IG1473 ratherG3123 gloryG2744 inG1722 myG1722 weaknessesG769, thatG2443 theG3588 powerG1411 ofG5485 ChristG5547 mayG2532 rest uponG1909 meG3004.

10WhereforeG1352 IG2532 takeG2106 pleasureG2106 inG1722 weaknessesG769, inG1722 injuries, inG1722 necessities, inG1722 persecutionsG1375, inG1722 distressesG4730, forG1063 Christ’sG5547 sakeG5228: forG1063 whenG3752 IG2532 amG1510 weakG770, thenG2532 amG1510 IG2532 strongG1415.

11IG1473 amG1510 becomeG1096 foolishG878: ye compelledG315 meG1473; forG1063 IG1473 oughtG3784 toG2532 haveG1510 beenG1510 commendedG4921 ofG652 youG5210: forG1063 inG2532 nothingG3762 wasG1510 IG1473 behind theG3588 veryG3029 chiefest apostlesG652, thoughG1487 IG1473 amG1510 nothingG3762.

12TrulyG1722 theG3956 signsG4592 ofG1411 anG2532 apostleG652 were wrought amongG1722 youG5210 inG1722 allG3956 patienceG5281, byG1722 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 andG2532 mightyG1411 works.
