CHAP. XII. / 1 For commending of his Apostleship, though he might glory of his wonderfull reuelations, 9 Yet hee rather chuseth to glory of his infirmities, 11 blaming them for forcing him to this vai
1 It is not expedient for me, doubtlesse, to glory, I will come to visions and reuelations of the Lord.
2 I knewe a man in Christ aboue fourteene yeeres agoe, whether in the body, I cannot tell, or whether out of the body, I cannot tell, God knoweth: such an one, caught vp to the third heauen.
3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth.)
4 How that he was caught vp into Paradise, and heard vnspeakable wordes, which it is not lawful for a man to vtter.
5 Of such a one will I glory, yet of my selfe I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a foole: for I will say the trueth. But now I forbear, lest any man should think of me aboue that which he seeth me to bee, or that hee heareth of me:
7 And least I should bee exalted aboue measure through the abundance of the reuelations, there was giuen to me a thorne in the flesh, the messenger of Sathan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted aboue measure.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from mee.
9 And he said vnto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weaknes. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest vpon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christes sake: for when I am weake, then am I strong.
11 I am become a foole in glorying; ye haue compelled me. For I ought to haue been commended of you: for in nothing am I behinde the very chiefest Apostles, though I be nothing.
12 Truely the signes of an Apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signes, and wonders, and mightie deeds.
13 For what is it wherein yee were inferior to other Churches, except it bee that I my selfe was not burthensome to you? forgiue me this wrong.
14 Behold, the third time I am readie to come to you, and I will not bee burthensome to you; for I seeke not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay vp for the parents, but the parents for the children.
15 And I wil very gladly spend and bee spent for you, though the more abundantly I loue you, the lesse I bee loued.
16 But be it so: I did not burthen you: neuerthelesse, being craftie, I caught you with guile.
17 Did I make a gaine of you by any of them, whom I sent vnto you?
18 I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother: Did Titus make a gaine of you? Walked wee not in the same spirit? walked wee not in the same steps?
19 Againe, thinke ye that we excuse our selues vnto you? wee speake before God in Christ: but wee doe all things, dearly beloued, for your edifying.
20 For I fear lest when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall bee found vnto you such as ye would not, lest there be debates, enuyings, wraths, strifes, backebitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults,
21 And least, when I come againe, my God will humble mee among you, and that I shall bewaile many which haue sinned alreadie, and haue not repented of the vncleannesse, and fornication, and lasciuiousnesse which they haue committed.
