And by reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, that I should not be exalted overmuch.

And because the revelations were so very great, in order that I might not be overmuch lifted up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, one sent from Satan to give me pain.

Και δια να μη υπεραιρωμαι δια την υπερβολην των αποκαλυψεων, μοι εδοθη σκολοψ εις την σαρκα, αγγελος Σαταν δια να με ραπιζη, δια να μη υπεραιρωμαι.

And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
