Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:1 - To boast, really, is not profitable for me, for I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:2 - I have known a man in Christ, fourteen years ago -- whether in the body I have not known, whether out of the body I have not known, God hath known -- such an one being caught away unto the third heaven;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:3 - and I have known such a man -- whether in the body, whether out of the body, I have not known, God hath known, --
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:4 - that he was caught away to the paradise, and heard unutterable sayings, that it is not possible for man to speak.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:5 - Of such an one I will boast, and of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:6 - for if I may wish to boast, I shall not be a fool, for truth I will say; but I forebear, lest any one in regard to me may think anything above what he doth see me, or doth hear anything of me;

A Thorn in the Flesh

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:7 - and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of the Adversary, that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted overmuch.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:8 - Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon, that it might depart from me,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:9 - and He said to me, 'Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:10 - wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses -- for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:11 - I have become a fool -- boasting; ye -- ye did compel me; for I ought by you to have been commended, for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles -- even if I am nothing.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:12 - The signs, indeed, of the apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:13 - for what is there in which ye were inferior to the rest of the assemblies, except that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive me this injustice!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:14 - Lo, a third time I am ready to come unto you, and I will not be a burden to you, for I seek not yours, but you, for the children ought not for the parents to lay up, but the parents for the children,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:15 - and I most gladly will spend and be entirely spent for your souls, even if, more abundantly loving you, less I am loved.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:16 - And be it so, I -- I did not burden you, but being crafty, with guile I did take you;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:17 - any one of those whom I have sent unto you -- by him did I take advantage of you?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:18 - I entreated Titus, and did send with him the brother; did Titus take advantage of you? in the same spirit did we not walk? -- did we not in the same steps?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:19 - Again, think ye that to you we are making defence? before God in Christ do we speak; and the all things, beloved, are for your up-building,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:20 - for I fear lest, having come, not such as I wish I may find you, and I -- I may be found by you such as ye do not wish, lest there be strifes, envyings, wraths, revelries, evil-speakings, whisperings, puffings up, insurrections,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:21 - lest again having come, my God may humble me in regard to you, and I may bewail many of those having sinned before, and not having reformed concerning the uncleanness, and whoredom, and lasciviousness, that they did practise.
