II Corinthians 12:18
King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology
It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. |
||
And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) |
||
Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. |
||
And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. |
||
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. |
||
I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing. |
||
For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong. |
||
And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. |
||
Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you? |
||
Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying. |
||
And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed. |
