2 Corinthians 12:6

4 how he was caught up into ^aParadise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

5 Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I will not ^aboast, except in my infirmities.

6 For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be or hears from me.

The Thorn in the Flesh

7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a ^athorn in the flesh was given to me, ^ba messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.

8 ^aConcerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
