2 kwabaseKorinte 12

7Ngalokho ukuze ngingaziphakamisi kakhulu ngobukhulu bezambulo, nganikwa iva enyameni, ingelosi kaSathane, ukuba ingimukule, ukuze ngingaziphakamisi kakhulu. 8Ngayo-ke nganxusa iNkosi kathathu ukuba isuke kimi. 9Yathi kimi: “Umusa wami ukwanele; ngokuba amandla ami apheleliswa ebuthakathakeni.” Ngakho kunalokho ngijabulela ukuzibonga ngobuthakathaka bami, ukuze amandla kaKristu ahlale phezu kwami. 10Ngakho ngenamile ebuthakathakeni, nasekuphathweni kabi, nasekusweleni, nasekuzingelweni, nasekubandezekeni ngenxa kaKristu, ngokuba uma ngibuthakathaka, yikhona nginamandla.

2 kwabaseKorinte 12:7-10ZUL59NOVula kumfundi weBhayibheli

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.
