1: To boastG2744 it behooves [me];G1163 notG3756 is it profitableG4851 indeed.G3303 I will go onG2064 howeverG1161 toG1519 visionsG3701 andG2532 revelationsG0602 of [the] Lord.G2962

2: I knowG1492 a manG0444 inG1722 Christ,G5547 agoG4253 yearsG2094 fourteen—G1180 whetherG1535 inG1722 [the] body,G4983 notG3756 I know,G1492 orG1535 out ofG1622 theG3588 body,G4983 notG3756 I know,G1492 -G3588 GodG2316 knows—G1492 having been caught upG0726 -G3588 such a manG5108 toG2193 [the] thirdG5154 heaven.G3772

3: AndG2532 I knowG1492 -G3588 suchG5108 a man—G0444 whetherG1535 inG1722 [the] bodyG4983 orG1535 out ofG5565 theG3588 body,G4983 notG3756 I know,G1492 -G3588 GodG2316 knows—G1492

4: thatG3754 he was caught upG0726 intoG1519 -G3588 Paradise,G3857 andG2532 he heardG0191 inexpressibleG0731 words,G4487 -G3739 notG3756 being permittedG1832 to manG0444 to speak.G2980

5: ConcerningG5228 -G3588 such a manG5108 I will boast;G2744 concerningG5228 howeverG1161 myself,G1683 notG3756 I will boast,G2744 ifG1487 notG3361 inG1722 theG3588 weaknesses.G0769

6: IfG1437 forG1063 I should desireG2309 to boast,G2744 notG3756 I will beG1510 a fool;G0878 [the] truthG0225 forG1063 I will be speaking.G2046 I refrainG5339 however,G1161 lestG3361 anyoneG5100 toG1519 meG1473 should creditG3049 more thanG5228 whatG3739 he seesG0991 in me,G1473 orG2228 hearsG0191 anyoneG5100 ofG1537 me,G1473

7: andG2532 theG3588 surpassingnessG5236 of theG3588 revelations.G0602 ThereforeG1352 thatG2443 notG3361 I should become conceited,G5229 was givenG1325 to meG1473 a thornG4647 in [my]G3588 flesh,G4561 a messengerG0032 of Satan,G4567 thatG2443 meG1473 he might buffet,G2852 so thatG2443 notG3361 I should become conceited.G5229

8: ForG5228 this,G3778 three timesG5151 theG3588 LordG2962 I begged,G3870 thatG2443 it might departG0868 fromG0575 me.G1473

9: AndG2532 He saidG2046 to me,G1473 SufficesG0714 youG4771 theG3588 graceG5485 of Me;G1473 theG3588 forG1063 powerG1411 inG1722 weaknessG0769 is perfected.G5055 Most gladlyG2236 thereforeG3767 ratherG3123 will I boastG2744 inG1722 theG3588 weaknessesG0769 of me,G1473 so thatG2443 may restG1981 uponG1909 meG1473 theG3588 powerG1411 -G3588 of Christ.G5547

10: ThereforeG1352 I take pleasureG2106 inG1722 weaknesses,G0769 inG1722 insults,G5196 inG1722 hardships,G0318 inG1722 persecutions,G1375 andG2532 difficultiesG4730 forG5228 Christ;G5547 whenG3752 forG1063 I might be weak,G0770 thenG5119 strongG1415 I am.G1510

11: I have becomeG1096 a fool;G0878 youG4771 meG1473 compelled.G0315 IG1473 forG1063 oughtG3784 byG5259 youG4771 to have been commended.G4921 In no wayG3762 forG1063 was I inferiorG5302 to thoseG3588 most eminentG5228 apostles,G0652 thoughG1487 evenG2532 nothingG3762 I am.G1510

12: TheG3588 indeedG3303 signsG4592 of theG3588 apostleG0652 were performedG2716 amongG1722 youG4771 inG1722 allG3956 perseverance,G5281 in signsG4592 both,G5037 andG2532 wonders,G5059 andG2532 miracles.G1411

13: In whatG5101 forG1063 is itG1510 thatG3739 you were inferiorG2274 beyondG5228 theG3588 restG3062 [of the] churches,G1577 ifG1487 notG3361 thatG3754 myselfG0846 IG1473 notG3756 did burdenG2655 you?G4771 ForgiveG5483 meG1473 theG3588 wrongG0093 this!G3778

14: Behold,G2400 third timeG5154 this,G3778 readyG2093 I amG2192 to comeG2064 toG4314 you,G4771 andG2532 notG3756 I will burden [you];G2655 notG3756 forG1063 I seekG2212 what [is]G3588 yours,G4771 butG0235 you.G4771 NotG3756 forG1063 oughtG3784 theG3588 childrenG5043 for theG3588 parentsG1118 to treasure up,G2343 butG0235 theG3588 parentsG1118 for theG3588 children.G5043

15: IG1473 nowG1161 most gladlyG2236 will spend,G1159 andG2532 will be utterly spent,G1550 forG5228 theG3588 soulsG5590 of you.G4771 IfG1487 more abundantlyG4057 youG4771 loving,G0025 lessG2276 I am loved?G0025

16: Be it soG1510 however,G1161 IG1473 notG3756 did burdenG2599 you;G4771 butG0235 beingG5225 crafty,G3835 by trickeryG1388 youG4771 I caught.G2983

17: NotG3361 anyG5100 of whomG3739 I have sentG0649 toG4314 you,G4771 byG1223 himG0846 did I exploitG4122 you?G4771

18: I urgedG3870 Titus [to go],G5103 andG2532 sent with [him]G4882 theG3588 brother.G0080 NotG3385 did exploitG4122 youG4771 Titus?G5103 NotG3756 in theG3588 sameG0846 spiritG4151 did we walk?G4043 NotG3756 in theG3588 sameG0846 steps?G2487

19: All alongG3819 have you been thinkingG1380 thatG3754 to youG4771 we have been making a defense?G0626 BeforeG2713 GodG2316 inG1722 ChristG5547 we speak,G2980 -G3588 butG1161 all things,G3956 beloved,G0027 forG5228 -G3588 yourG4771 edification.G3619

20: I fearG5399 forG1063 lestG3361 perhaps,G4459 having come,G2064 notG3756 such asG3634 I wishG2309 I may findG2147 you,G4771 and IG2504 might be foundG2147 by youG4771 such asG3634 notG3756 you do wish;G2309 lestG3361 perhapsG4459 quarreling,G2054 jealousy,G2205 anger,G2372 contentions,G2052 slander,G2636 gossip,G5587 conceit,G5450 disorder;G0181

21: lestG3361 againG3825 having comeG2064 of me,G1473 should humbleG5013 meG1473 theG3588 GodG2316 of meG1473 as toG4314 you,G4771 andG2532 I should mourn overG3996 manyG4183 of thoseG3588 having before sinnedG4258 andG2532 notG3361 having repentedG3340 ofG1909 theG3588 impurityG0167 andG2532 sexual immoralityG4202 andG2532 sensualityG0766 thatG3739 they have practiced.G4238
