II Corinthians 12 (kjv)

It is^G4851 not^G3756 expedient^G4851 for me^G3427 doubtless^G1211 to glory^G2744.^G1063 I will come^G2064 to^G1519 visions^G3701 and^G2532 revelations^G602 of the Lord^G2962.²I knew^G1492 a man^G444 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 above^G4253 fourteen^G1180 years^G2094 ago^G4253, (whether^G1535 in^G1722 the body^G4983, I cannot^G3756 tell^G1492; or whether^G1535 out^G1622 of the body^G4983, I cannot^G3756 tell^G1492: God^G2316 knoweth^G1492 such an one^G5108 caught up^G726 to^G2193 the third^G5154 heaven^G3772.³And^G2532 I knew^G1492 such^G5108 a man^G444, (whether^G1535 in^G1722 the body^G4983, or^G1535 out^G1622 of the body^G4983, I cannot^G3756 tell^G1492: God^G2316 knoweth^G14924How that^G3754 he was caught up^G726 into^G1519 paradise^G3857, and^G2532 heard^G191 unspeakable^G731 words^G4487, which^G3739 it is^G1832 not^G3756 lawful^G1832 for a man^G444 to utter^G2980.⁵Of^G5228 such an one^G5108 will I glory^G2744: yet^G1161 of^G5228 myself^G1683 I will^G2744 not^G3756 glory^G2744, but^G1508 in^G1722 mine^G3450 infirmities^G769.⁶For^G1063 though^G1437 I would desire^G2309 to glory^G2744, I shall^G2071 not^G3756 be^G2071 a fool^G878; for^G1063 I will say^G2046 the truth^G225: but^G1161 now I forbear^G5339, lest^G3361 any man^G5100 should think^G3049 of^G1519 me^G1691 above^G5228 that which^G3739 he seeth^G991 me^G3165 to be, or^G2228 that he heareth^G191 of^{G5100 G1537} me^G1700.⁷And^G2532 lest^G3363 I should be exalted above measure^G5229 through the abundance^G5236 of the revelations^G602, there was given^G1325 to me^G3427 a thorn^G4647 in the flesh^G4561, the messenger^G32 of Satan^G4566 to^G2443 buffet^G2852 me^G3165, lest^G3363 I should be exalted above measure^G5229.⁸For^G5228 this thing^G5127 I besought^G3870 the Lord^G2962 thrice^G5151, that^G2443 it might depart^G868 from^G575 me^G1700.⁹And^G2532 he said^G2046 unto me^G3427, My^G3450 grace^G5485 is sufficient^G714 for thee^G4671: for^G1063 my^G3450 strength^G1411 is made perfect^G5048 in^G1722 weakness^G769. Most gladly^G2236 therefore^G3767 will I^G2744 rather^G3123 glory^G2744 in^G1722 my^G3450 infirmities^G769, that^G2443 the power^G1411 of Christ^G5547 may rest^G1981 upon^G1909 me^G1691.¹⁰Therefore^G1352 I take pleasure^G2106 in^G1722 infirmities^G769, in^G1722 reproaches^G5196, in^G1722 necessities^G318, in^G1722 persecutions^G1375, in^G1722 distresses^G4730 for^G5228 Christ's^G5547 sake^G5228: for^G1063 when^G3752 I am weak^G770, then^G5119 am^G1510 I strong^G1415.¹¹I am become^G1096 a fool^G878 in glorying^G2744; ye^G5210 have compelled^G315 me^G3165: for^G1063 I^G1473 ought^G3784 to have been commended^G4921 of^G5259 you^G5216: for^G1063 in nothing^G3762 am I behind^G5302 the very chiefest^G3029 apostles^{G652 G5228}, though^G1499 I be^G1510 nothing^G3762.¹²Truly^G3303 the signs^G4592 of an apostle^G652 were wrought^G2716 among^G1722 you^G5213 in^G1722 all^G3956 patience^G5281, in^G1722 signs^G4592, and^G2532 wonders^G5059, and^G2532 mighty deeds^G1411.¹³For^G1063 what^G5101 is it^G2076 wherein^G3739 ye were inferior^G2274 to^G5228 other^G3062 churches^G1577, except^G1508 it be that^G3754 I^G1473 myself^G846 was^G2655 not^G3756 burdensome^G2655 to you^G5216? forgive^G5483 me^G3427 this^G5026 wrong^G93.¹⁴Behold^G2400, the third time^G5154 I am^G2192 ready^G2093 to come^G2064 to^G4314 you^G5209; and^G2532 I will^G2655 not^G3756 be burdensome^G2655 to you^G5216: for^G1063 I seek^G2212 not^G3756 yours^G5216, but^G235 you^G5209: for^G1063 the children^G5043 ought^G3784 not^G3756 to lay up^G2343 for the parents^G1118, but^G235 the parents^G1118 for the children^G5043.¹⁵And^G1161 I^G1473 will very gladly^G2236 spend^G1159 and^G2532 be spent^G1550 for^G5228 you^{G5590 G5216}; though^G1499 the more abundantly^G4056 I love^G25 you^G5209, the less^G2276 I be loved^G25.¹⁶But^G1161 be it so^G2077, I^G1473 did^G2599 not^G3756 burden^G2599 you^G5209: nevertheless^G235, being^G5225 crafty^G3835, I caught^G2983 you^G5209 with guile^G1388.¹⁷Did I make a gain^{G4122 G3361} of you^G5209 by^G1223 any^G5100 of them^G846 whom^G3739 I sent^G649 unto^G4314 you^G5209?¹⁸I desired^G3870 Titus^G5103, and^G2532 with him I sent^G4882 a brother^G80. Did^{G4122 G3387} Titus^G5103 make a gain^G4122 of you^G5209? walked we^G4043 not^G3756 in the same^G846 spirit^G4151? walked we not^G3756 in the same^G846 steps^G2487?¹⁹Again^G3825, think ye^G1380 that^G3754 we excuse ourselves^G626 unto you^G5213? we speak^G2980 before^G2714 God^G2316 in^G1722 Christ^G5547: but^G1161 we do all things^G3956, dearly beloved^G27, for^G5228 your^G5216 edifying^G3619.²⁰For^G1063 I fear^G5399, lest^{G3381 G4458}, when I come^G2064, I shall^G2147 not^G3756 find^G2147 you^G5209 such as^G3634 I would^G2309, and that I^G2504 shall be found^G2147 unto you^G5213 such as^G3634 ye would^G2309 not^G3756: lest^{G3381 G4458} there be debates^G2054, envyings^G2205, wraths^G2372, strifes^G2052, backbitings^G2636, whisperings^G5587, swellings^G5450, tumults^G181:²¹And lest^G3361, when I come^G2064 again^G3825, my^G3450 God^G2316 will humble^G5013 me^G3165 among^G4314 you^G5209, and^G2532 that I shall bewail^G3996 many^G4183 which^G3588 have sinned already^G4258, and^G2532 have^G3340 not^G3361 repented^G3340 of^G1909 the uncleanness^G167 and^G2532 fornication^G4202 and^G2532 lasciviousness^G766 which^G3739 they have committed^G4238.
