2 Corinthians 12:4 in Context — 2 Corinthians 12

2 Je connais un homme en Christ, qui fut, il y a quatorze ans, ravi jusqu’au troisième ciel (si ce fut dans son corps je ne sais, si ce fut hors de son corps je ne sais, Dieu le sait).

3 Et je sais que cet homme (si ce fut dans son corps ou sans son corps je ne sais, Dieu le sait)

4 fut enlevé dans le paradis, et qu’il entendit des paroles ineffables qu’il n’est pas permis à un homme d’exprimer.

5 Je me glorifierai d’un tel homme, mais de moi-même je ne me glorifierai pas, sinon de mes infirmités.

6 Si je voulais me glorifier, je ne serais pas un insensé, car je dirais la vérité; mais je m’en abstiens, afin que personne n’ait à mon sujet une opinion supérieure à ce qu’il voit en moi ou à ce qu’il entend de moi.
