2 Corinthians 12:5-7

Easy-to-Read Version

⁵ I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself. I will boast only about my weaknesses.

⁶ But if I wanted to say more about myself, I would not be a fool, because I would be telling the truth. But I won’t say any more, because I don’t want people to think more of me than what they see me do or hear me say.

⁷ But I must not be too proud of the wonderful things that were shown to me. So a painful problem^[a] was given to me—an angel from Satan, sent to make me suffer, so that I would not think that I am better than anyone else.
