ESV
7 So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing
greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a
messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming
conceited. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that
it should leave me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient
for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I
will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power
of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am
content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and
calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
