2 Corinthians 12:5-7

Darby Translation

⁵ Of such [a one] I will boast, but of myself I will not boast, unless in my weaknesses.

⁶ For if I shall desire to boast, I shall not be a fool; for I will say [the] truth; but I forbear, lest any one should think as to me above what he sees me [to be], or whatever he may hear of me.

⁷ And that I might not be exalted by the exceeding greatness of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn for the flesh, a messenger of Satan that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted.
