2 Corinthians 12:7-10 And lest I should be exalted above measure by

the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to

me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above

measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times

that it might depart from me. And He said to me, "My grace is

sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness."

Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the

power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in

infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses,

for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
