2 Cor 12:1–6

12:1–6 In these verses Paul continues his “boasting” with the topic of a vision of heaven. His account contains some unexpected elements. Paul is not permitted to repeat the things he heard in the vision, and afterward he receives a painful “thorn” (v. 7 note) sent by God to keep him humble.
