1. There is more that I have to say about myself. It won’t help, but I will talk now about visions and revelations from the Lord.
2. I know a man in Christ who was taken up to the third heaven. This happened 14 years ago. I don’t know if the man was in his body or out of his body, but God knows.
3-4. And I know that this man was taken up to paradise. I don’t know if he was in his body or away from his body, but he heard things that he is not able to explain. He heard things that no one is allowed to tell.
5. I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself. I will boast only about my weaknesses.
6. But if I wanted to say more about myself, I would not be a fool, because I would be telling the truth. But I won’t say any more, because I don’t want people to think more of me than what they see me do or hear me say.
