2 Corinthians 12:4

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.

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

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.

6 Even if I wanted to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me,
