7Hore ke se tshohe ke ikgantsha ka baka la boholo ba tseo ke di senolotsweng, ke hlabilwe ka moutlwa mmeleng, e leng moromuwa wa Satane, hore a nne a ntjabele, esere ka ikgantsha. 8Ke rapetse Morena hararo hore ntho ena e tlohe ho nna, 9empa a re ho nna: “Mohau wa ka o o lekane, hobane matla a ka a phethahala ka ba fokolang.” Ha ho le jwalo, ke tla ithorisa ka bofokodi ba ka ka thabo e kgolo, hore matla a Kreste a tle a be ho nna. 10Ka baka leo, ke thabela bofokodi, mahlapa, ditsietsi, ditlhoriso, le mahlomola, ka baka la Kreste, hobane ha ke fokola, eba ke hona ha ke le matla.

2 BAKORINTHE 12:7-10SSO89SOBula ka mmadi wa Bibele

A thorn is a gift Paul is given, so that he may not become prideful, but rather remain knowing that he is simply a vessel in the hands of God. Blessed is the One who stays grounded in God. We can therefore give thanks for the thorns in our life, for God’s grace is sufficient for us.
