If it is necessary (though certainly not expedient) to glory, then I will next tell of visions and revelations from the Lord.
I know a man in Christ, who, more than fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I do not know, or out of the body, I do not know: God knows), was enraptured to the third heaven.
And I know a certain man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I do not know: God knows),
who was enraptured into Paradise. And he heard words of mystery, which it is not permitted for man to speak.
On behalf of someone like this, I will glory. But on behalf of myself, I will not glory about anything, except my infirmities.
For even though I am willing to glory, I will not be foolish. But I will speak the truth. Yet I will do so sparingly, lest anyone may consider me to be anything more than what he sees in me, or anything more than what he hears from me.
And lest the greatness of the revelations should extol me, there was given to me a prodding in my flesh: an angel of Satan, who struck me repeatedly.
