Selected verse

how he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

5

On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.

6

For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.

7

By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.
