2 Corinthians 12:6 in Context — 2 Corinthians 12

4 Que fué arrebatado al paraíso, donde oyó palabras secretas que el hombre no puede decir.

5 De este tal me gloriaré, mas de mí mismo nada me gloriaré, sino en mis flaquezas.

6 Por lo cual si quisiere gloriarme, no seré insensato: porque diré verdad: empero [lo] dejo, porque nadie piense de mí más de lo que en mí ve, ú oye de mí.

7 Y porque la grandeza de las revelaciones no me levante descomedidamente, me es dado un aguijón en mi carne, un mensajero de Satanás que me abofetee, para que no me enaltezca sobremanera.

8 Por lo cual tres veces he rogado al Señor, que se quite de mí.
