2 Corinthians 12:2-12

2 I knowe a ma in Christ above .xiiij. yeares agone (whether he weare in ye body I cannot tell or whether he were oute of ye body I canot tell god knoweth) which was take vp into the thyrd heven.
3 And I knowe the same man (whether in the body or out of the body I canot tell god knoweth)
4 howe yt he was take vp into paradise and hearde wordes not to be spoke which no man can vtter.
5 Of this man will I reioyce of my silfe will I not reioyce except it be of myne infirmities.
6 And yet though I wolde reioyce I shuld not be a fole: for I wolde saye the trouthe. Neverthe lesse I spare lest eny man shuld thynke of me above that he seith me to be or heareth of me.
7 And lest I shuld be exalted out of measure thorow the aboundance of revelacions ther was geven vnto me vnquyetnes of the flesshe the messenger of Satan to buffet me: be cause I shuld not be exalted out of measure
8 For this thynge besought I the lorde thryse that it myght departe from me.
9 And he sayde vnto me: my grace is sufficient for the. For my stregth is made perfact thorow weaknes. Very gladly therfore will I reioyce of my weaknes that the strength of Christ maye dwell in me
10 Therfore have I delectacion in infirmities in rebukes in nede in persecucions in anguyshe for Christis sake. For when I am weake then am I stronge.
11 I am made a fole in bostynge my silfe. Ye have copelled me: I ought to have bene comeded of you. For in nothinge was I inferior vnto ye chefe apostels Though I be nothynge
12 yet ye tokes of an apostle were wrought amoge you with all pacience: with signes and wonders and myghty dedes.
