lont - 2Corinthians:12:1-10

lont@2Corinthians:12:1 @ To boast, indeed, is not profitable to me; yet I will proceed to visions and revelations of the Lord.

lont@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I knew a man in Christ fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I do not know; God knows:) such a one suddenly conveyed away to the third heaven.

lont@2Corinthians:12:3 @ Indeed, I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I do not know:)

lont@2Corinthians:12:4 @ that he was suddenly conveyed away into paradise, and heard unspeakable things, which are not lawful for man to utter.

lont@2Corinthians:12:5 @ Concerning such a one I will boast; but concerning myself I will not boast, except of my weaknesses.

lont@2Corinthians:12:6 @ Yet if I should incline to boast, I shall not be a fool; for I will speak the truth: but I forbear, lest any one should think concerning me, above what he sees me to be, or what he hears from me.

lont@2Corinthians:12:7 @ Indeed, that I might not be exalted above measure by the transcendency of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

lont@2Corinthians:12:8 @ Concerning this, I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

lont@2Corinthians:12:9 @ But he said to me, most gladly, therefore, I will boast rather of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may dwell upon me.

lont@2Corinthians:12:10 @ Wherefore, I am well pleased with weaknesses, with insults, with necessities, with persecutions, with distresses, for Christ's sake; because when I am weak, then I am strong.
