2 Corinthians 12:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

⁹ And he said to me: My grace is sufficient for thee; for power is made perfect in infirmity. Gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
