Paul also describes himself as inflicted with a debilitating physical condition akin to having a handicap which he refers to as "a thorn in the flesh".

American Christian Press Furthermore, Jesus did not carry his cross; rather, after leaving the judgment hall, the soldiers immediately compelled Simon of Cyrene to bear the cross all the way to Calvary per the three Gospel accounts in , and . The one account in which states "And he bearing his cross...", Wierwille believed refers to Jesus' spiritual "bearing of sin"."Studies in Abundant Living: The Word's Way by Victor Paul Wierwille p251" The "thorn in the flesh" in is individuals sent by Satan to disrupt the apostle Paul's ministry, not an illness as it is commonly interpreted.

Paul mentions what the "thorn in his flesh" was in when he said (Verse 6) "...lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. (Verse 7) And lest I should be exalted above measure through 'the abundance of revelations', there was given to me 'a thorn in the flesh'..." from "the abundance of revelations" and how people perceived him or "...man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me." Paul does not specify the nature of his "thorn", and his other epistles do not directly address the topic. Throughout church history, there has been a significant amount of speculation about what Paul was referring to, although scholars such as Philip Edgcumbe Hughes, F. F. Bruce and Ralph P. Martin conclude that definite identification of the thorn is impossible with the evidence available.

Without hesitation it > can be said that unnecessary and extremely expensive litigation has been the > curse of my life, my “thorn in the flesh”. To this day, in 1928, I suffer > from the effects of this lawyer-made dispute. The two were honourable > gentlemen, my father and my cousin, [and] would never have come to legal > blows had they not been egged on by their respective solicitors, both of > whom eventually committed suicide after it having been proved that they had > defrauded widows and orphans’.
