2 Corinthians 12:5 in context
- 3I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don’t know; God knows),
- 4how he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
- 5On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
- 6For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.
- 7By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.
