It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. †I will come to avisions and brevelations of the Lord. 2 I knew a man cin Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: dGod knoweth;) esuch an one fcaught up to gthe third heaven. 3 *And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: dGod knoweth;) 4 How that he was fcaught up into hparadise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not ||ilawful for a man to utter. 5 Of such an one will I glory: yet kof myself I will not glory, lbut in mine infirmities. 6 For though I would desire to glory, mI shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now nI forbear, lest any man should othink of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. 7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the brevelations, lthere was given to me pa thorn in the flesh, qthe messenger of rSatan to sbuffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
