2 Corinthians 12:1-7
A Vision of Paradise
12aIt is necessary to boast, though it is not profitable, but I will go on to visions and brevelations 1of the Lord. 2I know a man ain Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, bGod knows—such a man was ccaught up to the dthird heaven. 3And I know how such a man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, aGod knows— 4was acaught up into bParadise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak. 5aOn behalf of such a man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in bweaknesses. 6For if I do wish to boast I will not be afoolish, bfor I will be speaking the truth; but I refrain from this, so that no one will consider me beyond what he sees in me or hears from me.
