The Book of Corinthians Chapter 12

Paul’s Vision and His Thorn
---------------------------
In 2 Corinthians 12, Paul speaks of an extraordinary vision he had 14 years ago, where he was caught up to the third heaven. He is unsure whether this was in the body or out of the body, but he heard things that cannot be expressed in words.

He also shares about a thorn in his flesh, a messenger of Satan, given to keep him from becoming conceited. He pleaded with the Lord to remove it, but God said, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Paul concludes by embracing his weaknesses for the sake of Christ.
