2corinthians 12

1 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:1

2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago , 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.KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:2

3 And I knew such a man , in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell God knoweth KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:3

4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:4

5 Of such an one will I glory yet of myself I will not glory but in mine infirmities.KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:5

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.KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:6

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 KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:7

8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:8

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.KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:9

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.KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:10

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.KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:11

12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:12

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.KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:13

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.KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:14

15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you ; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:15

16 But be it so I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:16

17 Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you ?KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:17

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 ?KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:18

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.KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:19

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:KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:20

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 KJVSD — 2corinthians 12:21
