NET Bible
"On behalf of such an individual I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except about my weaknesses."
— 2 Corinthians 12:5, NET Bible
“Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.”
“On behalf of such a one will I glory: but on mine own behalf I will not glory, save in my weaknesses. ”
“On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.”
“For such an one I will glory: but for myself I will glory nothing but in my infirmities.”
“On account of such a one I will have glory: for myself I will take no glory, but only in my feeble body.”
“Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.”
I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago(whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows) was caught up to the third heaven.
And I know that this man(whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows)
was caught up into paradise and heard things too sacred to be put into words, things that a person is not permitted to speak.
On behalf of such an individual I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except about my weaknesses.
For even if I wish to boast, I will not be a fool, for I would be telling the truth, but I refrain from this so that no one may regard me beyond what he sees in me or what he hears from me,
even because of the extraordinary character of the revelations. Therefore, so that I would not become arrogant, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to trouble me– so that I would not become arrogant.
I asked the Lord three times about this, that it would depart from me.
