2 Corinthians 12:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ For though I should have a mind to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I will say the truth. But I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth in me, or any thing he heareth from me.

⁷ And lest the greatness of the revelations should exalt me, there was given me a sting of my flesh, an angel of Satan, to buffet me.

⁸ For which thing thrice I besought the Lord, that it might depart from me.
