2 Corinthians 12

1 to boast (be necessary *N(K)O*) no (be profitable on the other hand *N(K)O*) to come/go (then *N(k)O*) toward vision and revelation lord: God

I am compelled to boast. It is not a profitable employment, but I will proceed to visions and revelations granted me by the Lord.

2 to know a human in/on/among Christ before year fourteen whether in/on/among body no to know whether outside/except the/this/who body no to know the/this/who God to know to seize the/this/who such as this until third heaven

I know a Christian man who fourteen years ago-- whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know; God knows--was caught up (this man of whom I am speaking) even to the highest Heaven.

3 and to know the/this/who such as this a human whether in/on/among body whether (without *N(k)O*) the/this/who body no to know the/this/who God to know

And I know that this man-- whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know;

4 that/since: that to seize toward the/this/who paradise and to hear inexpressible declaration which no be permitted a human to speak

God knows--was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable things which no human being is permitted to repeat.

5 above/for the/this/who such as this to boast above/for then I/we no to boast if: not not in/on/among the/this/who weakness: weak (me *K*)

Of such a one I will boast; but of myself I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.

6 if for to will/desire to boast no to be foolish truth for to say to spare then not one toward I/we to count above/for which to see me or to hear one out from I/we

If however I should choose to boast, I should not be a fool for so doing, for I should be speaking the truth. But I forbear, lest any one should be led to estimate me more highly than what his own eyes attest, or more highly than what he hears from my lips.

7 and the/this/who surpassing the/this/who revelation (therefore *NO*) in order that/to not be haughty to give me thorn the/this/who flesh angel: messenger Satan in order that/to me to beat in order that/to not be haughty

And judging by the stupendous grandeur of the revelations--therefore lest I should be over-elated there has been sent to me, like the agony of impalement, Satan's angel dealing blow after blow, lest I should be over-elated.

8 above/for this/he/she/it three times the/this/who lord: God to plead/comfort in order that/to to leave away from I/we

As for this, three times have I besought the Lord to rid me of him;

9 and to say me be sufficient you the/this/who grace me the/this/who for power (me *K*) in/on/among weakness: weak (to finish *N(k)O*) most gladly therefore/then more to boast in/on/among the/this/who weakness: weak me in order that/to to rest upon/dwell upon/to/against I/we the/this/who power the/this/who Christ

but His reply has been, "My grace suffices for you, for power matures in weakness." Most gladly therefore will I boast of my infirmities rather than complain of them--in order that Christ's power may overshadow me.

10 therefore to delight in/on/among weakness: weak in/on/among mistreatment in/on/among necessity in/on/among persecution (and *N(k)O*) hardship above/for Christ when(-ever) for be weak: weak then able to be

In fact I take pleasure in infirmities, in the bearing of insults, in distress, in persecutions, in grievous difficulties--for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

11 to be foolish (to boast *K*) you me to compel I/we for to owe by/under: by you to commend none for to lack the/this/who above/for greatly apostle if: even though and none to be

It is foolish of me to write all this, but you have compelled me to do so. Why, you ought to have been my vindicators; for in no respect have I been inferior to these superlatively great Apostles, even though in myself I am nothing.

12 the/this/who on the other hand sign the/this/who apostle to workout/produce in/on/among you in/on/among all perseverance (in/on/among *k*) sign (and/both *no*) and wonders and power

The signs that characterize the true Apostle have been done among you, accompanied by unwearied fortitude, and by tokens and marvels and displays of power.

13 which? for to be which be lesser above/for the/this/who remaining assembly if: not not that/since: that it/s/he I/we no to burden you to give grace me the/this/who unrighteousness this/he/she/it

In what respect, therefore, have you been worse dealt with than other Churches, except that I myself never hung as a dead weight upon you? Forgive the injustice I thus did you!

14 look! third (this/he/she/it *no*) readily to have/be to come/go to/with you and no to burden (you *k*) no for to seek the/this/who you but you no for to owe the/this/who child the/this/who parent to store up but the/this/who parent the/this/who child

See, I am now for the third time prepared to visit you, but I will not be a dead weight to you. I desire not your money, but yourselves; for children ought not to put by for their parents, but parents for their children.

15 I/we then most gladly to spend and to expend above/for the/this/who soul you if (and *k*) more excessively you (to love *NK(o)*) (less/worse *N(k)O*) to love

And as for me, most gladly will I spend all I have and be utterly spent for your salvation.

16 to be then I/we no to burden you but be already crafty deceit you to take

If I love you so intensely, am I the less to be loved? Be that as it may: I was not a burden to you. But being by no means scrupulous, I entrapped you, they say!

17 not one which to send to/with you through/because of it/s/he to exploit you

Have I gained any selfish advantage over you through any one of the messengers I have sent to you?

18 to plead/comfort Titus and to send with the/this/who brother surely not to exploit you Titus no the/this/who it/s/he spirit/breath: spirit to walk no the/this/who it/s/he track

I begged Titus to visit you, and sent our other brother with him. Did Titus gain any selfish advantage over you? Were not he and I guided by one and the same Spirit, and did we not walk in the same steps?

19 (of old *N(K)O*) to think that/since: that you to defend oneself (before *N(k)O*) (the/this/who *k*) God in/on/among Christ to speak the/this/who then all beloved above/for the/this/who you building

You are imagining, all this time, that we are making our defense at your bar. In reality it is as in God's presence and in communion with Christ that we speak; but, dear friends, it is all with a view to your progress in goodness.

20 to fear for not how to come/go no such as to will/desire to find/meet you I/we and to find/meet you such as no to will/desire not how (quarrel zeal *N(k)O*) wrath rivalry slander gossip arrogance disorder

For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may not find you to be what I desire, and that you may find me to be what you do not desire; that perhaps there may be contention, jealousy, bitter feeling, party spirit, ill-natured talk, backbiting, undue eulogy, unrest;

21 not again (to come/go *N(k)O*) (me *no*) (to humble *NK(o)*) me the/this/who God me to/with you and to mourn much the/this/who to sin beforehand and not to repent upon/to/against the/this/who impurity and sexual sin and debauchery which to do/require

and that upon re-visiting you I may be humbled by my God in your presence, and may have to mourn over many whose hearts still cling to their old sins, and who have not repented of the impurity, fornication, and gross sensuality, of which they have been guilty.
