2COR 12:1
2 Corinthians 12:1
|
|
It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory.
I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. |
|
|
|
|
|
2COR 12:2
2 Corinthians 12:2
|
|
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years
ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot
tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. |
| |
|
|
|
2COR 12:3
2 Corinthians 12:3
|
|
And I knew such a man, (whether in the body,
or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) |
| |
|
|
|
2COR 12:4
2 Corinthians 12:4
|
|
How that he was caught up into paradise, and
heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. |
| |
|
|
|
2COR 12:5
2 Corinthians 12:5
|
|
Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I
will not glory, but in mine infirmities. |
| |
|
|
|
2COR 12:6
2 Corinthians 12:6
|
|
For though I would desire to glory, I shall
not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should
think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. |
| |
|
|
|
2COR 12:7
2 Corinthians 12:7
|
|
And lest I should be exalted above measure through
the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh,
the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. |
|
|
|
|
2COR 12:8
2 Corinthians 12:8
|
|
For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that
it might depart from me. |
|
|
|
|
2COR 12:9
2 Corinthians 12:9
|
|
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient
for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will
I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. |
|
|
|
|
2COR 12:10
2 Corinthians 12:10
|
|
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in
reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake:
for when I am weak, then am I strong. |
|
|
|
|
2COR 12:11
2 Corinthians 12:11
|
|
I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled
me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the
very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing. |
|
|
|
|
2COR 12:12
2 Corinthians 12:12
|
|
Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among
you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. |
|
|
|
|
2COR 12:13
2 Corinthians 12:13
|
|
For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other
churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this
wrong. |
|
|
|
|
2COR 12:14
2 Corinthians 12:14
|
|
Behold, the third time I am ready to come to
you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours but you: for the
children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. |
|
|
|
|
2COR 12:15
2 Corinthians 12:15
|
|
And I will very gladly spend and be spent for
you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. |
|
|
|
|
2COR 12:16
2 Corinthians 12:16
|
|
But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless,
being crafty, I caught you with guile. |
|
|
|
|
2COR 12:17
2 Corinthians 12:17
|
|
Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom
I sent unto you? |
|
|
|
|
2COR 12:18
2 Corinthians 12:18
|
|
I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother.
Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not
in the same steps? |
|
|
|
|
2COR 12:19
2 Corinthians 12:19
|
|
Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto
you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for
your edifying. |
| |
|
|
|
2COR 12:20
2 Corinthians 12:20
|
|
For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find
you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not:
lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings,
tumults: |
| |
|
|
|
2COR 12:21
2 Corinthians 12:21
|
|
And lest, when I come again, my God will humble
me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have
not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they
have committed. |
