2 Corinthians 12:1-9

1It isG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851 forG1063 meG1473 doubtlessG1211 to gloryG2744. I will comeG2064 toG1519 visionsG3701 andG2532 revelationsG602 of the LordG2962. 2I knewG1492 a manG444 inG1722 ChristG5547 aboveG4253 fourteenG1180 years agoG2094, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, IG1492 cannotG3756 tellG1492; or whetherG1535 out ofG1622 the bodyG3588G4983, IG1492 cannotG3756 tellG1492: GodG3588G2316 knowethG1492;) such an oneG5108 caught upG726 toG2193 the thirdG5154 heavenG3772. 3AndG2532 I knewG1492 suchG5108 a manG444, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, orG1535 out ofG1622 the bodyG3588G4983, IG1492 cannotG3756 tellG1492: GodG3588G2316 knowethG1492;) 4How thatG3754 he was caught upG726 intoG1519 paradiseG3588G3857, andG2532 heardG191 unspeakableG731 wordsG4487, whichG3739 it isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for a manG444 to utterG2980. 5

OfG5228 such an oneG5108 will I gloryG2744: yetG1161 ofG5228 myselfG1683 I willG2744 notG3756 gloryG2744, butG1487 inG1722 mineG1473 infirmitiesG3588G769. 6ForG1063 thoughG1437 I would desireG2309 to gloryG2744, I shallG1510 notG3756 beG1510 a foolG878; forG1063 I will sayG2046 the truthG225: butG1161 now I forbearG5339, lestG3361 any manG5100 should thinkG3049 ofG1519 meG1473 aboveG5228 that whichG3739 he seethG991 meG1473 to be, orG2228 that he hearethG191 ofG1537 meG1473. 7AndG2532 lestG2443 I should be exalted above measureG5229 through the abundanceG3588G5236 of the revelationsG3588G602, there was givenG1325 to meG1473 a thornG4647 in the fleshG3588G4561, the messengerG32 of SatanG4566 toG2443 buffetG2852 meG1473, lestG2443 I should be exalted above measureG5229. 8ForG5228 this thingG3778 I besoughtG3870 the LordG3588G2962 thriceG5151, thatG2443 it might departG868 fromG575 meG1473. 9AndG2532 he saidG2046 unto meG1473, MyG1473 graceG3588G5485 is sufficientG714 for theeG4771: forG1063 myG1473 strengthG1411 is made perfectG5048 inG1722 weaknessG769. Most gladlyG2236 thereforeG3767 will IG2744 ratherG3123 gloryG2744 inG1722 myG1473 infirmitiesG3588G769, thatG2443 the powerG3588G1411 of ChristG3588G5547 may restG1981 uponG1909 meG1473.
