2 Corinthians 12
1.For commending of his apostleship, though he might glory of his wonderful revelations,
9.yet he rather chooses to glory of his infirmities;
11.blaming the Corinthians for forcing him to this vain boasting.
14.He promises to come to them again; but yet altogether in the affection of a father;
20.although he fears he shall to his grief find many offenders, and public disorders there.














Three times
The phrase "three times" indicates a repeated and earnest appeal. In biblical terms, the number three often signifies completeness or emphasis. This is seen in other scriptural contexts, such as Jesus praying three times in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:39-44) and Peter's three denials of Christ (Matthew 26:34). The repetition underscores the intensity and sincerity of Paul's request.

I pleaded with the Lord
Paul's use of "pleaded" suggests a deep, heartfelt supplication. The term "Lord" here refers to Jesus Christ, highlighting Paul's direct relationship and communication with Him. This reflects the New Testament understanding of Jesus as the mediator between God and humanity (1 Timothy 2:5). Paul's approach to the Lord in prayer is consistent with the Christian practice of seeking divine intervention and guidance.

to take it away from me
The "it" refers to the "thorn in the flesh" mentioned earlier in the chapter (2 Corinthians 12:7). While the exact nature of this "thorn" is not specified, it is understood as a source of significant distress or weakness. This request for removal aligns with human tendencies to seek relief from suffering. However, the broader context of the passage reveals that God's response emphasizes the sufficiency of His grace and the power made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). This reflects a recurring biblical theme where God's strength is demonstrated through human frailty, as seen in the lives of figures like Moses (Exodus 4:10-12) and Gideon (Judges 6:14-16).

Lists and Questions
Top 10 Lessons from 2 Corinthians 12

Why doesn't God answer my prayers?

In Psalm 142:5–6, David expects personal divine rescue—why do similar prayers often go unanswered in observable human experience?

What does it mean when God says no?

John 15:7: Why do many devout believers experience unanswered prayers despite Jesus’s promise that abiding in him ensures requests are granted?(8)For this thing I besought the Lord thrice.--We are reminded of our Lord's three-fold prayer in Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36;Luke 22:42-45). Was St. Paul himself reminded of it? There also the answer to the prayer was not compliance with its petition, but the gift of strength to bear and to endure.

Verse 8. -For this thing. In reference to this or "tohim," the angel of Satan.The Lord. That is, Christ (1 Corinthians 1:3).Thrice (comp.Matthew 26:44).
