1
I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to gain, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord.
2
I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows.
3
And I know that this man—whether in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows—
4
was caught up to Paradise. The things he heard were inexpressible, things that man is not permitted to tell.
5
I will boast about such a man, but I will not boast about myself, except in my weaknesses.
6
Even if I wanted to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me,
7
or because of these surpassingly great revelations. So to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.
8
Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.
9
But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.
10
That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
11
I have become a fool, but you drove me to it. In fact, you should have commended me, since I am in no way inferior to those “super-apostles,” even though I am nothing.
12
The marks of a true apostle—signs, wonders, and miracles—were performed among you with great perseverance.
13
In what way were you inferior to the other churches, except that I was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
14
See, I am ready to come to you a third time, and I will not be a burden, because I am not seeking your possessions, but you. For children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.
15
And for the sake of your souls, I will most gladly spend my money and myself. If I love you more, will you love me less?
16
Be that as it may, I was not a burden to you; but crafty as I am, I caught you by trickery.
17
Did I exploit you by anyone I sent you?
18
I urged Titus to visit you, and I sent our brother with him. Did Titus exploit you in any way? Did we not walk in the same Spirit and follow in the same footsteps?
19
Have you been thinking all along that we were making a defense to you? We speak before God in Christ, and all of this, beloved, is to build you up.
20
For I am afraid that when I come, I may not find you as I wish, and you may not find me as you wish. I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, rage, rivalry, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.
21
I am afraid that when I come again, my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of their acts of impurity, sexual immorality, and debauchery.
