2 Corinthians 12:1-9 (King James Version)
View In My Bible
1
It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory . I will comea to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell ; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell : God knoweth ;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
3
And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell : God knoweth ;)
4
How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawfulb for a man to utter .
5
Of such an one will I glory : yet of myself I will not glory , but in mine infirmities.
6
For though I would desire to glory , I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear , lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
7
And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure .
8
For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
9
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
