## 2 Corinthians 12:1-3 in Context (Verses 1–6 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/12/1) It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/12/2) I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/12/3) And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
 
 [4 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/12/4) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/12/5) Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/12/6) For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but *now* I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me *to be*, or *that* he heareth of me.
