2 Corinthians 12:1-6 If boasting must be, though it is not expedient, indeed, yet I shall also be coming to apparitions and revelations of the Lord. "

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ If boasting must be, though it is not expedient, indeed, yet I shall also be coming to apparitions and revelations of the Lord. " ² I am acquainted with a man in Christ, fourteen years before this, (whether in a body I am not aware, or outside of the body, I am not aware - God is aware) such a one was snatched away to the third heaven. " ³ And I am acquainted with such a man (whether in a body or outside of the body I am not aware - God is aware) ⁴ that he was snatched away into paradise and hears ineffable declarations, which it is not allowed a man to speak. " ⁵ Over such a one I shall be boasting; yet over myself I shall not be boasting, except in my infirmities. " ⁶ For, if ever I should be wanting to boast, I shall not be imprudent, for I shall be declaring the truth. Yet I am reticent. No one should be reckoning me to be above what he is observing of me or anything he is hearing of me. "
