Holman Christian Standard Bible

2 Corinthians 12:1-5 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. Boasting is necessary. It is not profitable, but I will move on to visions and revelations of the Lord.

2. I know a man in Christ who was caught up into the third heaven 14 years ago. Whether he was in the body or out of the body, I don’t know, God knows.

3. I know that this man — whether in the body or out of the body I don’t know, God knows —

4. was caught up into paradise. He heard inexpressible words, which a man is not allowed to speak.

5. I will boast about this person, but not about myself, except of my weaknesses.
