  • 2 Cor 12:1-9 : 1 It is not expedient doubtles, for me to glorie, I wyl come to visions & reuelations of the Lorde. 2 For I knew a ma in Christe, aboue xiiij. yeres ago, (whether he were in the body I can not tell, or whether he were out of the body, I can not tell, God knoweth) that he was taken vp into the thirde heauen: 3 And I knewe the same man (whether in the body or out of the body, I can not tell, God knoweth) 4 Howe that he was take vp into paradise, & hearde vnspeakeable wordes, which is not lawfull for man to vtter. 5 Of such a man wyll I glorie, yet of my selfe wyll I not glorie, but in myne infirmities. 6 For though I woulde desire to glorie, I shall not be a foole, for I wyll say the trueth: but I nowe refrayne, lest any man shoulde thynke of me, aboue that which he seeth me to be, or yt he heareth of me. 7 And lest I shoulde be exalted out of measure through the aboundaunce of the reuelations, there was geuen vnto me a pricke to the fleshe, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, because I should not be exalted out of measure. 8 For this thyng besought I the Lorde thryse, that it myght depart from me. 9 And he sayde vnto me: My grace is sufficient for thee. For my strength is made perfect in weakenesse. Most gladly therfore, I wyll rather glorie in my infirmities, that the power of Christ myght dwell in me.
