2 Corinthians 12:1-7

1IG2532 must needs gloryG2744, thoughG1161 itG1161 is notG3756 expedient; butG1161 IG2532 willG2962 comeG2064 toG1519 visionsG3701 andG2532 revelationsG602 ofG2962 theG2532 LordG2962.

2IG2193 knowG1492 a manG444 inG1722 ChristG5547, fourteenG1180 yearsG2094 agoG4253 (whetherG1535 inG1722 theG3588 bodyG4983, IG2193 knowG1492 notG3756; orG1535 whetherG1535 outG1622 ofG2316 theG3588 bodyG4983, IG2193 knowG1492 notG3756; GodG2316 knoweth), suchG5108 a oneG444 caughtG726 upG726 evenG2193 toG2193 theG3588 thirdG5154 heavenG3772.

3AndG2532 IG2532 knowG1492 suchG5108 a manG444 (whetherG1535 inG1722 theG3588 bodyG4983, orG2532 apartG5565 fromG5565 theG3588 bodyG4983, IG2532 knowG1492 notG3756; GodG2316 knoweth),

4howG3754 thatG3754 heG2532 was caughtG726 upG1519 intoG1519 ParadiseG3857, andG2532 heardG191 unspeakable wordsG4487, whichG3739 itG191 is notG3756 lawfulG1832 forG1519 a manG444 toG1519 utter.

5OnG1722 behalfG5228 ofG1722 suchG5108 a oneG3588 willG1473 IG1473 gloryG2744: butG1161 onG1722 mineG1473 ownG1683 behalfG5228 IG1473 willG1473 notG3756 gloryG2744, save inG1722 myG1722 weaknessesG769.

6ForG1063 ifG1437 IG1473 shouldG5100 desireG2309 toG1519 gloryG2744, IG1473 shallG191 notG3756 beG1510 foolishG878; forG1063 IG1473 shallG191 speakG3004 theG3739 truthG225: butG1161 IG1473 forbear, lestG3361 anyG5100 manG5100 shouldG5100 accountG3049 ofG1537 meG3004 aboveG5228 thatG3739 whichG3739 heG3739 seeth meG3004 toG1519 beG1510, orG2228 heareth fromG1537 meG3004.

7AndG2532 byG2532 reasonG1352 ofG4561 theG3588 exceeding greatnessG5236 ofG4561 theG3588 revelationsG602—whereforeG1352, thatG2443 IG1473 shouldG2443 notG3361 beG2532 exalted overmuch, there was givenG1325 toG2443 meG1325 a thornG4647 inG2532 theG3588 fleshG4561, a messengerG32 ofG4561 SatanG4567 toG2443 buffet meG1325, thatG2443 IG1473 shouldG2443 notG3361 beG2532 exalted overmuch.
