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.
Para que no me enorgulleciera demasiado por estas visiones extraordinarias que Dios me mostraba, me fue dado este doloroso sufrimiento, como una espina que simplemente no sale. Es literalmente de Satanás, destinado a abatirme y mantenerme humilde para que no me crea superior.
Dios permite sufrimientos en nuestra vida para mantenernos humildes y evitar que nos enorgullezcamos.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the context of Paul's second letter to the Corinthians, he was defending his apostolic authority against false teachers who challenged his credibility and boasted about their own experiences. Paul describes his profound visions and revelations from God but mentions the "thorn in the flesh" as a humbling affliction sent by God to prevent pride from overwhelming him. This thorn, which could have been a physical ailment or ongoing trial, highlights the tension between divine favor and human weakness in the early Christian church.
