Bible: 2 Cor. 12:5-7
12:5 On behalf of such an individual I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except about my weaknesses. 12:6 For even if I wish to boast, I will not be a fool, for I would be telling 1 the truth, but I refrain from this so that no one may regard 2 me beyond what he sees in me or what he hears from me, 12:7 even because of the extraordinary character of the revelations. Therefore, 3 so that I would not become arrogant, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to trouble 4 me – so that I would not become arrogant. 5
