2 Corinthians 12:7

And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn^[1] in the flesh, the messenger^[2] of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.^[3]^[4]

↑ There is no indication that this “thorn” was a sickness. In Paul’s list of hardships (see 2 Corinthians 11:23-27)
↑ The Greek word translated “messenger” here in this text, is also rendered “angel” elsewhere in the New Testament (see Luke 1:13, 2 Corinthians 11:14 and Galatians 4:14).
↑ In this verse, Paul made it very clear that this thorn in the flesh was a messenger from satan and not from God.
