jub - 2Corinthians:12:1-10

jub@2Corinthians:12:1 @ Certainly it is not expedient for me to glory, but I will come to [the] visions and [the] revelations of the Lord.

jub@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a man in Christ [who] fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell; God knows) was caught up to the third heaven.

jub@2Corinthians:12:3 @ And I know such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell; God knows)

jub@2Corinthians:12:4 @ who was caught up into paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

jub@2Corinthians:12:5 @ Of such a one I will glory, yet of myself I will not glory, except in my weaknesses.

jub@2Corinthians:12:6 @ Therefore if I should desire to glory [in these things], I should not be a fool; for I would say the truth, but [now] I forbear lest anyone should think of me above that which he sees me [to be] or [that] he hears of me.

jub@2Corinthians:12:7 @ And lest the greatness of the revelations should exalt me above measure, there is given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

jub@2Corinthians:12:8 @ For this thing I besought the Lord three times that it might be taken from me.

jub@2Corinthians:12:9 @ And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, I will rather glory in my weaknesses that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

jub@2Corinthians:12:10 @ Therefore I am content in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake, for when I am weak, then am I strong.
