ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને બીજો પત્ર ૧૨:૭
મને જે પ્રકટીકરણના અસાધારણ અનુભવો થયા તેને લીધે હું ફુલાઉં નહિ માટે શેતાનના દૂત તરીકે મને મનુષ્યદેહમાં પીડા આપવામાં આવી છે કે જેથી હું વધારે પડતી બડાઈ ન કરું.
हिन्दी2 कुरिन्थियों १२:७
और इसलिए कि मैं प्रकाशनों की बहुतायत से फूल न जाऊँ, मेरे शरीर में एक काँटा चुभाया गया अर्थात् शैतान का एक दूत कि मुझे घूँसे मारे ताकि मैं फूल न जाऊँ। (गला. 4:13, अय्यू. 2:6)

In context

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.

8Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.

9He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
