且以啟示莫大之故、恐我自高過甚、加刺於我身、即撒但之役擊我、免我自高過甚也、

蓋莫大此默示、恐我自高、故身受刺、任撒但之役擊我、使我不得自高、

既得默示甚多、恐我自高、故加刺於我身、即撒但之使擊我、免我自高、

且主亦恐我以受此特達之啟示、而驕矜自慢也；故容沙殫加我以肉身上之痛楚、有如芒刺之着體、蓋不欲吾之得意而忘形耳。

or because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.

God has shown me amazing and wonderful things. People should not think more of me because of it. So I wouldn’t become proud of myself, I was given a problem. This problem caused pain in my body. It is a messenger from Satan to make me suffer.

So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited.

even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God. So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud.

especially because of the extraordinary revelations. Therefore, so that I would not exalt myself, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to torment me so that I would not exalt myself.

Because of the extraordinary greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me— to keep me from exalting myself!

把這樣的人放給撒但，去讓他的肉體死滅，好讓他的靈在主的日子得以獲救。

但他心高氣傲，剛愎自用，就從他的國位上黜落下來，他的尊榮就被褫奪。

你們若不把那地的居民從你們面前趕出去，你們所讓存留的人就會成了你們眼中的刺、肋下的荊棘，也會在你們所住的地擾害你們。

因此我又說：「我必不將他們從你們面前攆出去；他們必成了你們肋下的荊棘；他們的神必餌誘你們入於網羅。」』

希西家卻沒有照他所受的恩待來報答永恆主，因為他心高氣傲；故此永恆主震怒了他，也震怒猶大和耶路撒冷。但是希西家又為了自己的心高氣傲而謙卑自己；他和耶路撒冷的居民都謙卑，故此當希西家活着的日子、永恆主的震怒就沒有臨到他們。

他既強盛，就心驕氣傲，以致行事腐敗，對永恆主他的上帝不忠實，進永恆主的殿堂、要在香壇上燒香。

不可讓新進教的做監督，免得他蒙於傲氣，而掉在魔鬼所受的定罪裏。

你們知道我先前傳福音給你們、是為了肉身上有病的緣故；

於是撒但就從永恆主面前退出來。他便用毒瘡去擊打約伯，從腳掌到頭頂滿都是瘡。

所以巴比倫公侯的大使奉差來見希西家、要查問猶大地所發生的兆頭；在這件事上帝也放任希西家隨意而行，為的是要試驗他，好知道他內心所隱藏的是甚麼。

免得他心高氣傲、藐視他的族弟兄，也免得他離了這誡命、而偏左偏右；好使他和他子孫在以色列中治國延年益壽。

那時你就心高氣傲，忘記了永恆主你的上帝、那把你從埃及地從為奴之家領出來的。

『對於以色列家，四圍那些輕蔑他們的人、以後必不再向他們作刺人的蒺藜、作給人疼痛的荊棘。人就知道我乃是主永恆主。

將人的思想，以及一切樹起來、阻礙人認識上帝的高障、都攻倒了；又擄取了一切心意、使它聽從基督。

若有人壓制你們做奴隸，若有人吞喫你們，若有人牢籠你們，若有人向你們昂首傲慢，若有人打你們的臉，你們就容忍他！

那人見自己勝不過他，就將他的大腿窩打了一下，雅各的大腿窩在同那人摔跤的時候就扭了。

便吐唾沬在他臉上，用拳頭打他；有人給他一個耳刮子，

雅各剛過了毘努伊勒，日剛剛出、來照他；他卻斜靠着大腿瘸着瘸着走了。

直到現在這一點鐘，我們還是又饑又渴、又赤身裸體、又挨拳打、飄泊無定，

這個女人，是亞伯拉罕的子孫、撒但所捆鎖的、你看，已十八年了，她不應該在安息的日子得解開、脫離這鎖鍊麼？』
