*
It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory .
I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord .
*
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 knoweth ;)
such an one caught up to the third heaven .
*
And I knew such a man , (
whether in the body ,
or out of the body ,
I cannot tell :
God knoweth ;)
*
How that he was caught up into paradise ,
and heard unspeakable words ,
which it is not lawful for a man to utter .
*
Of such an one will I glory :
yet of myself I will not glory ,
but in mine infirmities .
*
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 seeth me to be ,
or that he heareth of me .
*
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 .
*
For this thing I besought the Lord thrice ,
that it might depart from me .
*
And he said unto me ,
My grace is sufficient for thee :
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 upon me .
*
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities ,
in reproaches ,
in necessities ,
in persecutions ,
in distresses for Christ '
s sake :
for when I am weak ,
then am I strong .
