2 Corinthians 12:5 Context
3And I knew such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell, God knoweth.) 4How that he was caught vp into Paradise, and heard vnspeakeable wordes, which it is not lawfull for a man to vtter. 5Of such a one will I glory, yet of my selfe I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. 6For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a foole: for I will say the trueth. But now I forbeare, lest any man should thinke of me aboue that which hee seeth me to bee, or that hee heareth of me: 7And least I should bee exalted aboue measure through the abundance of the reuelations, there was giuen to me a thorne in the flesh, the messenger of Sathan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted aboue measure.
