CHAPTER 12

2. Of the Lord's Vision and Revelation to Him
12:1-10

1 To ^aboast is ¹necessary, though indeed not ^bexpedient; yet I will ²come to ^3cvisions and ^drevelations of the Lord.

2 I know a ¹man ^ain Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body I do not know, or outside the body I do not know; God ^bknows) such a one was ²caught away ³to the ⁴third heaven.

3 ¹And I know such a man (whether in the body or ²outside the body, I do not know; God knows),

4 That he was caught away into ¹Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is ^anot allowed for a man to speak.

5 On behalf of such a one I will ^aboast, but on behalf of myself I will not ^bboast, except in my ^cweaknesses.

6 For if I desire to ^aboast, I will not be foolish, for I will ^bspeak the truth; but I refrain lest anyone account of me something above what he ^csees me to be or ^dhears from me.

7 And because of the ¹transcendence of the revelations, in order that I might not be exceedingly ^alifted up, there was given to me a ^2bthorn in the flesh, a messenger of ^cSatan, that he might ³buffet me, in order that I might not be exceedingly lifted up.

8 Concerning this I entreated the Lord ^athree times that it might depart from me.

9 And He has said to me, My ^1agrace is sufficient for you, for My ^2bpower is perfected in ^cweakness. Most gladly therefore I will rather boast in my weaknesses that the ^dpower of Christ might ^3etabernacle over me.

10 Therefore I am ¹well pleased in ^aweaknesses, in ²insults, in ^3bnecessities, in ^cpersecutions and ^4ddistresses, on behalf of Christ; for when I am ^5eweak, then I am ⁵powerful.
