2 Corinthians 12:6 in Context — 2 Corinthians 12
4 Foi arrebatado ao paraíso, e ouviu palavras inexprimíveis, que ao homem não é lícito falar.
5 D [este] tal eu me orgulharei, mas de mim mesmo não me orgulharei, a não ser em minhas fraquezas.
6 Porque se eu quiser me orgulhar, não serei tolo; porque direi a verdade; porém eu me contenho, para que ninguém me considere mais do que aquilo que vê em mim, ou ouve de mim.
7 E para que eu não ficasse arrogante pela excelência das revelações, me foi dado um espinho na carne, [que é] um mensageiro de Satanás, para me atormentar, para que eu não ficasse arrogante.
8 Três vezes eu orei ao Senhor por causa disso, para que [isso] de afastasse de mim.
