2 Corinthians 12:6
Compare all
4 how he was caught up into aParadise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.  
5 Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I will not aboast, except in my infirmities.  
6 For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be or hears from me.

The Thorn in the Flesh

7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a athorn in the flesh was given to me, ba messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.  
8 aConcerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.  
9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly aI will rather boast in my infirmities, bthat the power of Christ may rest upon me.

2 Corinthians 12:6

For if I should resolve to glory - Referring to, I might glory of such a glorious revelation. I should not be a fool - That is, it could not justly be accounted folly to relate the naked truth. But I forbear - I speak sparingly of these things, for fear any one should think too highly of me - O where is this fear now to be found? Who is afraid of this?
