ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને બીજો પત્ર ૧૨:૫
તેને લીધે હું અભિમાન કરીશ; પોતાને વિષે નહિ પણ કેવળ મારી નિર્બળતા વિષે અભિમાન કરીશ.
हिन्दी2 कुरिन्थियों १२:५
ऐसे मनुष्य पर तो मैं घमण्ड करूँगा, परन्तु अपने पर अपनी निर्बलताओं को छोड़, अपने विषय में घमण्ड न करूँगा।

In context

3I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don’t know; God knows),

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

5On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.

6For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.

7By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.
