Because of the surpassing greatness of the ⁽ⁿ⁾revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a ^(o)thorn in the flesh, a ^(p)messenger of Satan to ^[b]torment me—to keep me from exalting myself!

Concerning this I implored the Lord ^(q)three times that it might leave me.

And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for ^(r)power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather ^(s)boast ^[c]about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

Therefore ^(t)I am well content with weaknesses, with ^[d]insults, with ^(u)distresses, with ^(v)persecutions, with ^(w)difficulties, ^(x)for Christ's sake; for ^(y)when I am weak, then I am strong.
