2 Corinthians 12

  1 G4851 0 It is G3756 not G4851 [G5719] expedient G3427 for me G1211 doubtless G2744 [G5738] to boast. G1063   G2064 [G5695] I will come G1519 to G3701 visions G2532 and G602 revelations G2962 of the Lord.

  2 G1492 [G5758] I knew G444 a man G1722 in G5547 Anointed G1180 fourteen G2094 years G4253 ago, G1535 (whether G1722 in G4983 the body, G3756 I cannot G1492 [G5758] tell; G1535 or whether G1622 out G4983 of the body, G3756 I cannot G1492 [G5758] tell: G2316 God G1492 [G5758] knoweth; G5108 ) such one G726 [G5651] caught up G2193 to G5154 the third G3772 heaven.

  3 G2532 And G1492 [G5758] I knew G5108 such G444 a man, G1535 (whether G1722 in G4983 the body, G1535 or G1622 out G4983 of the body, G3756 I cannot G1492 [G5758] tell: G2316 God G1492 [G5758] knoweth;)

  4 G3754 How G726 [G5648] he was caught up G1519 into G3857 paradise, G2532 and G191 [G5656] heard G731 unspeakable G4487 utterances, G3739 which G1832 0 it is G3756 not G1832 [G5752] allowed G444 for a man G2980 [G5658] to utter.

  5 G5228 Of G5108 such an one G2744 [G5695] will I boast: G1161 yet G5228 of G1683 myself G2744 0 I will G3756 not G2744 [G5695] boast, G1508 but G1722 in G3450 my G769 infirmities.

  6 G1063 For G1437 though G2309 [G5661] I would desire G2744 [G5664] to boast, G2071 0 I shall G3756 not G2071 [G5704] be G878 mindless; G1063 for G2046 [G5692] I will say G225 the truth: G1161 but G5339 [G5736] now I spare, G3361 lest G5100 any man G3049 [G5667] should think G1519 of G1691 me G5228 above G3739 that which G991 [G5719] he seeth G3165 me G2228 to be, or G191 [G5719] what he heareth G5100 G1537 from G1700 me.

  7 G2532 And G3363 lest G5229 [G5747] I should be exalted above measure G3588 through the G5236 excellence G3588 of the G602 revelations, G1325 [G5681] there was given G3427 to me G4647 a thorn G4561 in the flesh, G32 the messenger G4566 of the adversary G2443 to G2852 [G5725] buffet G3165 me, G3363 lest G5229 [G5747] I should be exalted above measure.

  8 G5228 For G5127 this thing G3870 [G5656] I besought G2962 the Lord G5151 three times, G2443 that G868 [G5632] it might depart G575 from G1700 me.

  9 G2532 And G2046 [G5758] he said G3427 to me, G3450 { My G5485 grace G714 [G5719] is sufficient G4671 for thee: G1063 for G3450 my G1411 power G5048 [G5743] is made perfect G1722 in G769 weakness. G2236 } Most gladly G3767 therefore G2744 0 will I G3123 rather G2744 [G5695] boast G1722 in G3450 my G769 infirmities, G2443 that G3588 the G1411 power G3588 of the G5547 Anointed G1981 [G5661] may rest G1909 upon G1691 me.

  10 G1352 Therefore G2106 [G5719] I take pleasure G1722 in G769 infirmities, G1722 in G5196 hubris, G1722 in G318 necessities, G1722 in G1375 persecutions, G1722 in G4730 straights G5228 0 for G5547 Anointed's G5228 sake: G1063 for G3752 when G770 [G5725] I am weak, G5119 then G1510 [G5748] am G1415 I powerful.

  11 G1096 [G5754] I am become G878 mindless G2744 [G5740] in boasting; G5210 ye G315 [G5656] have compelled G3165 me: G1063 for G1473 I G3784 [G5707] ought G4921 [G5745] to have been commended G5259 by G5216 you: G1063 for G3762 in nothing G5302 [G5656] was I lacking G3588 the G5228 more G3029 exceeding G652 apostles, G1499 even if G1510 [G5748] I am G3762 nothing.

  12 G3303 Truly G4592 the signs G652 of an apostle G2716 [G5681] were wrought G1722 among G5213 you G1722 in G3956 all G5281 patience, G1722 in G4592 signs, G2532 and G5059 wonders, G2532 and G1411 powerful works.

  13 G1063 For G5101 what G2076 [G5748] is it G3739 in which G2274 [G5681] ye were inferior G5228 to G3062 other G1577 congregations, G1508 except G3754 that G1473 I G846 myself G2655 0 was G3756 not G2655 [G5656] burdensome G5216 to you? G5483 [G5663] forgive G3427 me G5026 this G93 injustice.

  14 G2400 [G5628] Behold, G5154 the third time G2192 [G5719] I am G2093 ready G2064 [G5629] to come G4314 to G5209 you; G2532 and G2655 0 I will G3756 not G2655 [G5692] be burdensome G5216 to you: G1063 for G2212 [G5719] I seek G3756 not G5216 yours, G235 but G5209 you: G1063 for G5043 the children G3784 [G5719] ought G3756 not G2343 [G5721] to lay up G1118 for the parents, G235 but G1118 the parents G5043 for the children.

  15 G1161 And G1473 I G2236 will very gladly G1159 [G5692] spend G2532 and G1550 [G5701] expend G5228 for G5216 your G5590 breaths; G1499 even if G4056 more exceedingly G25 [G5723] loving G5209 you, G2276 the less G25 [G5743] I am loved.

  16 G1161 But G2077 [G5749] be it so, G1473 I G2599 0 did G3756 not G2599 [G5656] burden G5209 you: G235 nevertheless, G5225 [G5723] being G3835 crafty, G2983 [G5627] I caught G5209 you G1388 with guile.

  17 G4122 G3361 [G5656] Did I overreach G5209 you G1223 by G5100 any G846 of them G3739 whom G649 [G5758] I sent G4314 to G5209 you?

  18 G3870 [G5656] I urged G5103 Titus, G2532 and G4882 [G5656] with him I sent G80 a brother. G4122 0 G3387 Did G5103 Titus G4122 [G5656] overreach G5209 you? G4043 [G5656] walked we G3756 not G846 in the same G4151 spirit? G3756 walked we not G846 in the same G2487 steps?

  19 G3825 Again, G1380 [G5719] think ye G3754 that G626 [G5736] we make a defense G5213 to you? G2980 [G5719] we speak G2714 before G2316 God G1722 in G5547 Anointed: G1161 but G3956 we do all things, G27 dearly beloved, G5228 for G5216 your G3619 edification.

  20 G1063 For G5399 [G5736] I fear, G3381 G4458 lest, G2064 [G5631] when I come, G2147 0 I shall G3756 not G2147 [G5632] find G5209 you G3634 such as G2309 [G5719] I would, G2504 and that I G2147 [G5686] shall be found G5213 by you G3634 such as G2309 [G5719] ye would G3756 not: G3381 G4458 lest G2054 there be debates, G2205 zeals, G2372 rages, G2052 contentions, G2636 backbitings, G5587 whisperings, G5450 conceits, G181 tumults:

  21 G3361 And lest, G2064 [G5631] when I come G3825 again, G3450 my G2316 God G5013 [G5661] may humble G3165 me G4314 among G5209 you, G2532 and G3996 [G5692] I shall bewail G4183 many G3588 who G4258 [G5761] have sinned already, G2532 and G3340 0 have G3361 not G3340 [G5660] changed their minds G1909 of G167 the uncleanness G2532 and G4202 fornication G2532 and G766 lasciviousness G3739 which G4238 [G5656] they have committed.
