gltv - 2Corinthians:12:1-10

gltv@2Corinthians:12:1 @ Indeed, to boast is not profitable to me, for I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

gltv@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a man in Christ fourteen years before--whether in the body, I do not know, or out of the body, I do not know, God knows--such a one was caught up to the third Heaven.

gltv@2Corinthians:12:3 @ And I know such a man--whether in the body or out of the body, I do not know; God knows--

gltv@2Corinthians:12:4 @ that he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words which it is not permissible for a man to speak.

gltv@2Corinthians:12:5 @ On behalf of such a one I will boast. But I will not boast on my behalf, except in my weaknesses.

gltv@2Corinthians:12:6 @ For if I desire to boast, I will not be foolish, for I speak the truth. But I spare, lest anyone reckons me to be beyond what he sees me or hears of me.

gltv@2Corinthians:12:7 @ And by surpassing revelations, that I not be made haughty, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan, that he might buffet me, that I not be made haughty.

gltv@2Corinthians:12:8 @ Beyond this I entreated the Lord three times, that it depart from me.

gltv@2Corinthians:12:9 @ And He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness. Therefore, I will rather gladly boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may overshadow me.

gltv@2Corinthians:12:10 @ Because of this, I am pleased in weaknesses, in insults, in dire needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for the sake of Christ. For when I may be weak, then I am powerful.
