2 Corinthians 12:6-9

Sawyer(i) 6 For if I shall wish to boast I shall not be foolish, for I will tell the truth. But I forbear, lest any one should think of me beyond what he sees or hears of me. 7 (3:8) And that I might not be elated with my extraordinary revelations, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, an angel of Satan to beat me, that I should not be too much exalted. 8 For this I besought the Lord thrice that it might leave me. 9 And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you; for power is perfected in weakness.
