2 Corinthians 12:7-9
New Century Version
7 So that I would not become too proud of the wonderful things that were shown to me, a painful physical problem[a] was given to me. This problem was a messenger from Satan, sent to beat me and keep me from being too proud. 8 I begged the Lord three times to take this problem away from me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is enough for you. When you are weak, my power is made perfect in you.” So I am very happy to brag about my weaknesses. Then Christ’s power can live in me.
