1. I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, 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 the body I do not know – God knows.
3. And I know that this man – whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows –
4. was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell.
5. I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses.
