Thorn in the flesh

---

【释义】：

肉中刺；(喻)痛苦；烦恼的根源；伤脑筋的事

Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.

For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.

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.

2 Cor. 12:5-7

为这人，我(指保罗)要夸口；但是为我自己，除了我的软弱以外，我并不夸口。

我就是愿意夸口，也不算狂；因为我必说实话；只要我禁止不说，恐怕有人把我看高了，过于他在我身上所看见所听见的。

又恐怕我因所得的启示甚大，就过于自高，所以有一根刺加在我肉体上，就是撒但的差役，要攻击我，免得我过于自高。

《哥林多后书》12∶5－7］
