1 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:1
2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knows;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:2
3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knows;) AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:3
4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:4
5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in my infirmities. AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:5
6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he sees me to be, or that he hears of me. AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:6
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:7
8 For this thing I sought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:8
9 And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest on me. AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:9
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’ sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:10
11 I am become a fool in glorying; you have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very most chief apostles, though I be nothing. AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:11
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:12
13 For what is it wherein you were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong. AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:13
14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not your’ but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:14
15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:15
16 But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile. AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:16
17 Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent to you? AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:17
18 I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps? AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:18
19 Again, think you that we excuse ourselves to you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying. AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:19
20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found to you such as you would not: lest there be debates, contentions, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, arrogance, tumults: AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:20
21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall mourn many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed. AKJV — 2Corinthians 12:21
