2 Corinthians 12:1

The Vision of Paradise

1 It is¹ doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to ^avisions and ^brevelations of the Lord:

2 I know a man ^ain Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one ^bwas caught up to the third heaven.

3 And I know such a man—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows—

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.
