or because of these surpassingly great revelations. So to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.


World English Bible (WEB)

By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.

And{G2532} lest{G3363} I should be exalted above measure{G5229}{(G5747)} through the abundance{G5236} of the revelations{G602}, there was given{G1325}{(G5681)} to me{G3427} a thorn{G4647} in the flesh{G4561}, the messenger{G32} of Satan{G4566} to{G2443} buffet{G2852}{(G5725)} me{G3165}, lest{G3363} I should be exalted above measure{G5229}{(G5747)}.


The F.O.G *

(7) because of the extreme degree of the revelations! Therefore, so that I don't exalt myself there was given me a thorn of the flesh. A messenger-angel of the adversary to beat me, so that I don't exalt myself!


The F.O.G Message *


Young's Literal Translation

and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of the Adversary, that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted overmuch.
