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.
8 aConcerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
