Image

12:01 .. boasting is necessary .. though it is not profitable .. but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord
12:02 .. I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago .. whether in the body I do not know .. or out of the body I do not know .. God knows ..
......... such a man was caught up to the third heaven
12:03 .. and I know how such a man .. whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know .. God knows
12:04 .. was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words .. which a man is not permitted to speak
12:05 .. on behalf of such a man I will boast .. but on my own behalf I will not boast .. except in regard to my weaknesses
12:06 .. for if I do wish to boast I will not be foolish .. for I will be speaking the truth .. but I refrain from this ..
......... so that no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me

.................. a thorn in the flesh

12:07 .. because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations .. for this reason .. to keep me from exalting myself .. there was given me a thorn in the flesh ..
......... a messenger of Satan to torment me .. to keep me from exalting myself
12:08 .. concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me
12:09 .. and he has said to me . . . my grace is sufficient for you .. for power is perfected in weakness .. most gladly .. therefore ..
......... I will rather boast about my weaknesses .. so that the power of Christ may dwell in me
12:10 .. therefore I am well content with weaknesses .. with insults .. with distresses .. with persecutions .. with difficulties .. for Christ’s sake ..
......... for when I am weak .. then I am strong

12:11 .. I have become foolish .. you yourselves compelled me .. actually I should have been commended by you ..
......... for in no respect was I inferior to the most eminent apostles .. even though I am a nobody
12:12 .. the signs of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance .. by signs and wonders and miracles

12:13 .. for in what respect were you treated as inferior to the rest of the churches .. except that I myself did not become a burden to you .. forgive me this wrong
12:14 .. here for this third time I am ready to come to you .. and I will not be a burden to you .. for I do not seek what is yours .. but you ..
......... for children are not responsible to save up for their parents .. but parents for their children
12:15 .. I will most gladly spend and be expended for your souls .. If I love you more .. am I to be loved less
12:16 .. but be that as it may .. I did not burden you myself .. nevertheless .. crafty fellow that I am .. I took you in by deceit

12:17 .. certainly I have not taken advantage of you through any of those whom I have sent to you .. have I
12:18 .. I aurged Titus to go .. and I sent the brother with him .. Titus did not take any advantage of you .. did he ..
......... did we not conduct ourselves in the same spirit and walk in the same steps
12:19 .. all this time you have been thinking that we are defending ourselves to you .. actually .. it is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ ..
......... and all for your upbuilding .. beloved

12:20 .. for I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may find you to be not what I wish and may be found by you to be not what you wish ..
......... that perhaps there will be strife .. jealousy .. angry tempers .. disputes .. slanders .. gossip .. arrogance .. disturbances
12:21 .. I am afraid that when I come again my God may humiliate me before you .. and I may mourn over many of those who have sinned in the past and not
......... repented of the impurity .. immorality and sensuality which they have practiced

The exalted experiences of the Spirit-filled Christian overbalance all he is called upon to bear for Christ’s sake .. whom God loves .. he will keep from being exalted above measure .. and spiritual burdens will be ordered .. with grace to bear them .. for the keeping down of spiritual pride .. as we communicate our experiences let us remember to take notice of what God has done to humble us .. as well as to advance us . . . . v 7-9 .. the thorns Christ wore for us and with which he was crowned .. sanctify and make easy all the thorns in the flesh we may ever be afflicted with .. his grace is sufficient .. and what is health if his grace is not possessed
