12:1 It
is
not
expedient
for
me,
doubtlesse,
to
glory,
I
wil
come
to
visions
and
reuelations
of
the
Lord.
12:2 I
knewe
a
man
in
Christ
aboue
foureteene
yeeres
agoe,
whether
in
the
body,
I
cannot
tell,
or
whether
out
of
the
body,
I
cannot
tell,
God
knoweth:
such
a
one,
caught
vp
to
the
third
heauen.
12:3 And
I
knew
such
a
man
(whether
in
the
body,
or
out
of
the
body,
I
cannot
tell,
God
knoweth.)
12:4 How
that
he
was
caught
vp
into
Paradise,
and
heard
vnspeakeable
wordes,
which
it
is
not
lawfull
for
a
man
to
vtter.
12:5 Of
such
a
one
will
I
glory,
yet
of
my
selfe
I
will
not
glory,
but
in
mine
infirmities.
12:6 For
though
I
would
desire
to
glory,
I
shall
not
be
a
foole:
for
I
will
say
the
trueth.
But
now
I
forbeare,
lest
any
man
should
thinke
of
me
aboue
that
which
hee
seeth
me
to
bee,
or
that
hee
heareth
of
me:
12:7 And
least
I
should
bee
exalted
aboue
measure
through
the
abundance
of
the
reuelations,
there
was
giuen
to
me
a
thorne
in
the
flesh,
the
messenger
of
Sathan
to
buffet
me,
lest
I
should
be
exalted
aboue
measure.
12:8 For
this
thing
I
besought
the
Lord
thrice,
that
it
might
depart
from
mee.
12:9 And
he
said
vnto
me,
My
grace
is
sufficient
for
thee:
for
my
strength
is
made
perfect
in
weaknes.
Most
gladly
therefore
will
I
rather
glory
in
my
infirmities,
that
the
power
of
Christ
may
rest
vpon
me.
12:10 Therefore
I
take
pleasure
in
infirmities,
in
reproches,
in
necessities,
in
persecutions,
in
distresses
for
Christes
sake:
for
when
I
am
weake,
then
am
I
strong.
12:11 I
am
become
a
foole
in
glorying,
ye
haue
compelled
me.
For
I
ought
to
haue
beene
commended
of
you:
for
in
nothing
am
I
behinde
the
very
chiefest
Apostles,
though
I
be
nothing.
12:12 Truely
the
signes
of
an
Apostle
were
wrought
among
you
in
all
patience,
in
signes
and
wonders,
and
mightie
deeds.
12:13 For
what
is
it
wherein
yee
were
inferior
to
other
Churches,
except
it
bee
that
I
my
selfe
was
not
burthensome
to
you
forgiue
me
this
wrong.
12:14 Behold,
the
third
time
I
am
readie
to
come
to
you,
and
I
will
not
bee
burthensome
to
you;
for
I
seeke
not
yours,
but
you:
for
the
children
ought
not
to
lay
vp
for
the
parents,
but
the
parents
for
the
children.
12:15 And
I
wil
very
gladly
spend
and
bee
spent
for
you,
though
the
more
abundantly
I
loue
you,
the
lesse
I
bee
loued.
12:16 But
be
it
so:
I
did
not
burthen
you:
neuerthelesse
beeing
craftie,
I
caught
you
with
guile.
12:17 Did
I
make
a
gaine
of
you
by
any
of
them,
whom
I
sent
vnto
you
12:18 I
desired
Titus,
and
with
him
I
sent
a
brother:
did
Titus
make
a
gaine
of
you
Walked
wee
not
in
the
same
spirit
walked
wee
not
in
the
same
steps
12:19 Againe,
thinke
you
that
we
excuse
our
selues
vnto
you
wee
speake
before
God
in
Christ:
but
wee
doe
all
things,
dearely
beloued,
for
your
edifying.
12:20 For
I
feare
lest
when
I
come,
I
shall
not
find
you
such
as
I
would,
and
that
I
shall
bee
found
vnto
you
such
as
ye
would
not,
lest
there
bee
debates,
enuyings,
wraths,
strifes,
backebitings,
whisperings,
swellings,
tumults,
12:21 And
least
when
I
come
againe,
my
God
will
humble
mee
among
you,
and
that
I
shall
bewaile
many
which
haue
sinned
alreadie,
and
haue
not
repented
of
the
vncleannesse,
and
fornication,
and
lasciuiousnesse
which
they
haue
committed.
