Abstract

This paper seeks to uncover the spiritual lesson Paul intended to convey through the expression "a thorn in the flesh" in 2 Corinthians 12:7. While much discussion has centered on the nature of this thorn, this study emphasizes its purpose and function within Paul's message. By examining the broader context of 2 Corinthians and focusing specifically on 12:7, the paper aims to reveal the deeper spiritual insights Paul was imparting to his audience.

Keywords: Thorn, Flesh, Suffering, Christian.
