2 Corinthians 12:3

1 I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to gain, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord.

2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows.

And I know that this man—whether in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows—

4 was caught up to Paradise. The things he heard were too sacred for words, things that man is not permitted to tell.

5 I will boast about such a man, but I will not boast about myself, except in my weaknesses.
