2 Corinthians 12:6-8

Tree of Life Version

⁶ For if I should want to boast, I would not be foolish—for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no one may think more of me than what he sees in me or hears from me— ⁷ even in the extraordinary quality of the revelations. So that I would not exalt myself, a thorn in the flesh was given to me—a a messenger of satan to torment me,^[a] so I would not exalt myself. ⁸ I pleaded with the Lord three times about this, that it might leave me.
