2 Corinthians 12:7
World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible
By 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.
or because of these surpassingly great revelations. So to keep me from becoming conceited (note: Some translators end the previous paragraph after verse 6, and begin verse 7 with So to keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations,), I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.
