jub - 2Corinthians:12

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.

jub@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have been a fool, glorying; ye have compelled me; for I ought to have been commended of you, for in nothing am I behind the grandiose apostles, though I am nothing.

jub@2Corinthians:12:12 @ Truly the signs of the apostle were worked out among you in all patience, in signs and wonders and power.

jub@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For what is it in which ye were inferior to the other churches except in that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.

jub@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be burdensome to you, for I seek not your things, but you; for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

jub@2Corinthians:12:15 @ And I will very gladly spend and be utterly spent for your souls though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.

jub@2Corinthians:12:16 @ But be it so, I did not burden you; nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.

jub@2Corinthians:12:17 @ Did I make a gain of you by any of those whom I sent unto you?

jub@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I besought Titus and with [him] I sent a brother. Did Titus defraud you? Did we not walk in the same Spirit and in the same steps?

jub@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Again, do ye think that we excuse ourselves unto you? We speak before God in Christ, but [we do] all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.

jub@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I desire and [that] I shall be found unto you such as ye desire not, lest [there be] debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, rumours, tumults,

jub@2Corinthians:12:21 @ lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and I would have to mourn over many who have sinned already and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.:
