1
I must boast; there is nothing to be gained by it, but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2
I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven--whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows.
3
And I know that this man was caught up into Paradise--whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows--
4
and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter.
5
On behalf of this man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses.
