← 2 Corinthians

---

• A. 7a And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations,

• B. 7b there was given to me a thorn in the flesh,

• B'. 7c the messenger of Satan to buffet me,

• A'. 7d lest I should be exalted above measure.

• A. 8-9a For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.

• B. 9b Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities,

• C. 9c that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

• B'. 10a Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake:

• A'. 10b for when I am weak, then am I strong.
