2 Corinthians 12

1 ♥ 📝 I ^G3427 must needs^G4851 glory,^G2744 though it is^G4851 not^G3756 expedient;^G4851 but^G1063 I will come^G2064 to^G1519 visions^G3701 and^G2532 revelations^G602 of the Lord.^G2962

2 ♥ 📝 I know^G1492 a man^G444 in^G1722 Christ,^{G5547 G4253} fourteen^G1180 years ago^G2094 (whether^G1535 in^G1722 the body,^G4983 I^G1492 know^G1492 not;^G3756 or whether^G1535 out of^G1622 the body,^G4983 I^G1492 know^G1492 not;^G3756 God^G2316 knoweth),^G1492 such a one^G5108 caught up^G726 even to^G2193 the third^G5154 heaven.^G3772

3 ♥ 📝 And^G2532 I know^G1492 such^G5108 a man^G444 (whether^G1535 in^G1722 the body,^G4983 or^G1535 apart^G1622 from the body,^G4983 I^G1492 know^G1492 not;^G3756 God^G2316 knoweth),^G1492

4 ♥ 📝 how that^G3754 he was caught up^G726 into^G1519 Paradise,^G3857 and^G2532 heard^G191 unspeakable^G731 words,^G4487 which^G3739 it is^G1832 not^G3756 lawful^G1832 for a man^G444 to utter.^G2980

5 ♥ 📝 On behalf of^G5228 such a one^G5108 will I glory:^G2744 but^G1161 on^G5228 mine^G1683 own behalf I will^G2744 not^G3756 glory,^G2744 save^{G1487 G3361} in^G1722 [my]^G3450 weaknesses.^G769

6 ♥ 📝 For^G1063 if^G1437 I should desire^G2309 to glory,^G2744 I shall^G2071 not^G3756 be^G2071 foolish;^G878 for^G1063 I shall speak^G2046 the truth:^G225 but^G1161 I forbear,^G5339 lest^G3361 any man^G5100 should account^G3049 of^G1519 me^G1691 above^G5228 that which^G3739 he seeth^G991 me^G3165 [to be], or^G2228 heareth^{G191 G5100} from^G1537 me.^G1700

7 ♥ 📝 And^G2532 by^G3361 reason^G2443 of the exceeding greatness^G5236 of the revelations,^G602 that I should not be exalted overmuch,^G5229 there was given^G1325 to me^G3427 a thorn^G4647 in the flesh,^G4561 a messenger^G32 of Satan^G4566 to^G2443 buffet^G2852 me,^G3165 that^G2443 I should not^G3361 be exalted overmuch.^G5229

8 ♥ 📝 Concerning^G5228 this thing^G5127 I besought^G3870 the Lord^G2962 thrice,^G5151 that^G2443 it might depart^G868 from^G575 me.^G1700

9 ♥ 📝 And^G2532 he hath said^G2046 unto me,^G3427 My^G3450 grace^G5485 is sufficient^G714 for thee:^G4671 for^G1063 [my]^G3450 power^G1411 is made perfect^G5048 in^G1722 weakness.^G769 Most gladly^G2236 therefore^G3767 will I^G2744 rather^G3123 glory^G2744 in^G1722 my^G3450 weaknesses,^G769 that^G2443 the power^G1411 of Christ^G5547 may rest^G1981 upon^G1909 me.^G1691

10 ♥ 📝 Wherefore^G1352 I take pleasure^G2106 in^G1722 weaknesses,^G769 in^G1722 injuries,^G5196 in^G1722 necessities,^G318 in^G1722 persecutions,^G1375 in^G1722 distresses,^G4730 for^G5228 Christ's sake:^G5547 for^G1063 when^G3752 I am weak,^G770 then^G5119 am I^G1510 strong.^G1415

11 ♥ 📝 I am become^G1096 foolish:^{G878 G2744} ye^G5210 compelled^G315 me;^G3165 for^G1063 I^G1473 ought^G3784 to have been commended^G4921 of^G5259 you:^G5216 for^G1063 in nothing^G3762 was I behind^G5302 the very^G5228 chiefest^G3029 apostles,^G652 though^{G1487 G2532} I am^G1510 nothing.^G3762

12 ♥ 📝 Truly^G3303 the signs^G4592 of an apostle^G652 were wrought^G2716 among^G1722 you^G5213 in^G1722 all^G3956 patience,^G5281 by^G1722 signs^G4592 and^G2532 wonders^G5059 and^G2532 mighty works.^G1411

13 ♥ 📝 For^G1063 what^G5101 is^G2076 there wherein^G3739 ye were made inferior^G2274 to^G5228 the rest^G3062 of the churches,^G1577 except^{G1487 G3361} [it be] that^G3754 I^G1473 myself^G846 was^G2655 not^G3756 a burden^G2655 to you?^G5216 forgive^G5483 me^G3427 this^G3778 wrong.^G93

14 ♥ 📝 Behold,^G2400 this is the third time^G5154 I am^G2192 ready^G2093 to come^G2064 to^G4314 you;^G5209 and^G2532 I will^G2655 not^G3756 be a burden^G2655 to you:^G5216 for^G1063 I seek^G2212 not^G3756 yours,^G5216 but^G235 you:^G5209 for^G1063 the children^G5043 ought^G3784 not^G3756 to lay up^G2343 for the parents,^G1118 but^G235 the parents^G1118 for the children.^G5043

15 ♥ 📝 And^G1161 I^G1473 will most gladly^G2236 spend^G1159 and^G2532 be spent^G1550 for^{G5228 G5590} your^G5216 souls. If^{G1487 G2532} I love^G25 you^G5209 more abundantly,^G4056 am I loved^G25 the less?^G2276

16 ♥ 📝 But^G1161 be it^G1473 so,^G2077 I^G1473 did^G2599 not^G3756 myself burden^G2599 you;^G5209 but, being^G5225 crafty,^G3835 I caught^G2983 you^G5209 with guile.^G1388

17 ♥ 📝 Did^G3361 I take advantage^G4122 of^G4314 you^G5209 by^G1223 any^G5100 one of them^G846 whom^G3739 I have sent^G649 unto you?^G5209

18 ♥ 📝 I exhorted^G3870 Titus,^G5103 and^G2532 I sent^G4882 the brother^G80 with^G4882 him. Did^{G3361 G5100} Titus^G5103 take any advantage^G4122 of you?^G5209 walked we^G4043 not^G3756 in the same^G846 spirit?^G4151 [walked we] not^G3756 in the same^G846 steps?^G2487

19 ♥ 📝 ^G3825 Ye^G1380 think all this time that^G3754 we are excusing ourselves^G626 unto you.^G5213 In the sight^G2714 of God^G2316 speak^G2980 we in^G1722 Christ.^G5547 But^G1161 all things,^G3956 beloved,^G27 [are] for^G5228 your^G5216 edifying.^G3619

20 ♥ 📝 For^G1063 I fear,^G5399 lest^G3381 by any means, when I come,^G2064 I should^G2147 find^G2147 you^G5209 not^G3756 such as^G3634 I would,^G2309 and^G2504 should myself^G2504 be found^G2147 of you^G5213 such as^G3634 ye would^G2309 not;^G3756 lest^G3381 by any means [there should be] strife,^G2054 jealousy,^G2205 wraths,^G2372 factions,^G2052 backbitings,^G2636 whisperings,^G5587 swellings,^G5450 tumults;^G181

21 ♥ 📝 lest^G3361 again^G3825 when I come^{G2064 G3825} my^G3450 God^G2316 should humble^G5013 me^G3165 before^G4314 you,^G5209 and^G2532 I should mourn^G3996 for many^G4183 of them that have^G3340 sinned heretofore,^G4258 and^G2532 repented^G3340 not^G3361 of^G1909 the uncleanness^G167 and^G2532 fornication^G4202 and^G2532 lasciviousness^G766 which^G3739 they committed.^G4238
