2 Corinthians 12:1-9

ECB(i) 1
PAULOS IN PARADISE
It is not beneficial for me to boast: indeed I come to visions and apocalypses of Adonay. 2 I knew a human in Messiah fourteen years ago; whether in body, I know not; whether out of the body, I know not: Elohim knows; such an one seized to the third heavens. 3 And I knew such a human, whether in body, whether out of the body, I know not; Elohim knows: 4 that he was seized into paradise and heard inexpressable rhemas not allowed for a human to speak. 5 Of such an one I boast: yet of myself I boast not - except in my frailties. 6 For whenever I will to boast, I become not thoughtless; for I say the truth; but I spare: lest anyone reckon me above what he sees me, or somewhat hears of me. 7
THE THORN OF PAULOS
And lest I be superciliously exalted through the excellence of the apocalypses, I was given a thorn in the flesh - an angel of Satan to punch me, lest I be superciliously exalted. Numbers 33:55, Joshua 23:13, Judges 2:3, Ezekiel El 28:24, Nahum 1:10 8 For this I besought Adonay thrice that it depart from me. 9 And he said to me, My charism is sufficient for you: for my dynamis is completed/shalamed in frailty. So rather, with pleasure I boast in my frailties, that the dynamis of the Messiah tabernacle upon me.
