2 Corinthians 12:7 in Context — 2 Corinthians 12
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.
9 Mas ele me disse: “Minha graça te basta, porque meu poder se aperfeiçoa na fraqueza”. Por isso, com muito prazer, eu me orgulharei nas minhas fraquezas, para que o poder de Cristo habite em mim.
