King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. It is not expedient[G4851] [G3756] for me[G3427] doubtless[G1211] to glory.[G2744] I will[G1063] come[G2064] to[G1519] visions[G3701] and[G2532] revelations[G602] of the Lord.[G2962]

2. I knew[G1492] a man[G444] in[G1722] Christ[G5547] above[G4253] fourteen[G1180] years[G2094] ago, (whether[G1535] in[G1722] the body,[G4983] I cannot tell;[G1492] [G3756] or whether[G1535] out[G1622] of the[G3588] body,[G4983] I cannot tell:[G1492] [G3756] God[G2316] knoweth;)[G1492] such a one[G5108] caught up[G726] to[G2193] the third[G5154] heaven.[G3772]

3. And[G2532] I knew[G1492] such[G5108] a man,[G444] (whether[G1535] in[G1722] the body,[G4983] or[G1535] out[G1622] of the[G3588] body,[G4983] I cannot tell:[G1492] [G3756] God[G2316] knoweth;)[G1492]

4. How that[G3754] he was caught up[G726] into[G1519] paradise,[G3857] and[G2532] heard[G191] unspeakable[G731] words,[G4487] which[G3739] it is not lawful[G1832] [G3756] for a man[G444] to utter.[G2980]

5. Of[G5228] such a one[G5108] will I glory:[G2744] yet[G1161] of[G5228] myself[G1683] I will not[G3756] glory,[G2744] but[G1508] in[G1722] mine[G3450] infirmities.[G769]

6. For[G1063] though[G1437] I would desire[G2309] to glory,[G2744] I shall not[G3756] be[G2071] a fool;[G878] for[G1063] I will say[G2046] the truth:[G225] but[G1161] now I forbear,[G5339] lest[G3361] any man[G5100] should think[G3049] of[G1519] me[G1691] above[G5228] that[G3739] which he seeth[G991] me[G3165] to be, or[G2228] that he heareth[G191] [G5100] of[G1537] me.[G1700]

7. And[G2532] lest[G3363] I should be exalted above measure[G5229] through the[G3588] abundance[G5236] of the[G3588] revelations,[G602] there was given[G1325] to me[G3427] a thorn[G4647] in the[G3588] flesh,[G4561] the messenger[G32] of Satan[G4566] to[G2443] buffet[G2852] me,[G3165] lest[G3363] I should be exalted above measure.[G5229]

8. For[G5228] this thing[G5127] I besought[G3870] the[G3588] Lord[G2962] thrice,[G5151] that[G2443] it might depart[G868] from[G575] me.[G1700]

9. And[G2532] he said[G2046] unto me,[G3427] My[G3450] grace[G5485] is sufficient[G714] for thee: [G4671] for[G1063] my[G3450] strength[G1411] is made perfect[G5048] in[G1722] weakness.[G769] Most gladly[G2236] therefore[G3767] will I rather[G3123] glory[G2744] in[G1722] my[G3450] infirmities,[G769] that[G2443] the[G3588] power[G1411] of Christ[G5547] may rest[G1981] upon[G1909] me.[G1691]

10. Therefore[G1352] I take pleasure[G2106] in[G1722] infirmities,[G769] in[G1722] reproaches,[G5196] in[G1722] necessities,[G318] in[G1722] persecutions,[G1375] in[G1722] distresses[G4730] for Christ's sake:[G5228] [G5547] for[G1063] when[G3752] I am weak,[G770] then[G5119] am[G1510] I strong.[G1415]

11. I am become[G1096] a fool[G878] in glorying;[G2744] ye[G5210] have compelled[G315] me:[G3165] for[G1063] I[G1473] ought[G3784] to have been commended[G4921] of[G5259] you:[G5216] for[G1063] in nothing[G3762] am I behind[G5302] the[G3588] very chiefest[G5228] [G3029] apostles,[G652] though[G1499] I be[G1510] nothing.[G3762]

12. Truly[G3303] the[G3588] signs[G4592] of an apostle[G652] were wrought[G2716] among[G1722] you[G5213] in[G1722] all[G3956] patience,[G5281] in[G1722] signs,[G4592] and[G2532] wonders,[G5059] and[G2532] mighty deeds.[G1411]

13. For[G1063] what[G5101] is[G2076] it wherein[G3739] ye were inferior[G2274] to[G5228] other[G3062] churches,[G1577] except[G1508] it be that[G3754] I[G1473] myself[G846] was not burdensome[G2655] [G3756] to you?[G5216] forgive[G5483] me[G3427] this[G5026] wrong.[G93]

14. Behold,[G2400] the third time[G5154] I am[G2192] ready[G2093] to come[G2064] to[G4314] you;[G5209] and[G2532] I will not[G3756] be burdensome[G2655] to you:[G5216] for[G1063] I seek[G2212] not[G3756] yours,[G5216] but[G235] you:[G5209] for[G1063] the[G3588] children[G5043] ought[G3784] not[G3756] to lay up[G2343] for the[G3588] parents,[G1118] but[G235] the[G3588] parents[G1118] for the[G3588] children.[G5043]

15. And[G1161] I[G1473] will very gladly[G2236] spend[G1159] and[G2532] be spent[G1550] for[G5228] you;[G5216] though[G1499] the more abundantly[G4056] I love[G25] you,[G5209] the less[G2276] I be loved.[G25]

16. But[G1161] be[G2077] it so, I[G1473] did not[G3756] burden[G2599] you:[G5209] nevertheless,[G235] being[G5225] crafty,[G3835] I caught[G2983] you[G5209] with guile.[G1388]

17. Did I[G1223] [G846] make a gain[G4122] of you[G5209] by[G3361] any[G5100] of them whom[G3739] I sent[G649] unto[G4314] you?[G5209]

18. I desired[G3870] Titus,[G5103] and[G2532] with him I sent[G4882] a brother.[G80] Did[G3387] Titus[G5103] make a gain[G4122] of you?[G5209] walked[G4043] we not[G3756] in the[G3588] same[G846] spirit?[G4151] walked we not[G3756] in the[G3588] same[G846] steps?[G2487]

19. Again,[G3825] think[G1380] ye that[G3754] we excuse ourselves[G626] unto you?[G5213] we speak[G2980] before[G2714] God[G2316] in[G1722] Christ:[G5547] but[G1161] we do all things,[G3956] dearly beloved,[G27] for[G5228] your[G5216] edifying.[G3619]

20. For[G1063] I fear,[G5399] lest[G3381] when I come,[G2064] I shall not[G3756] find[G2147] you[G5209] such[G3634] as I would,[G2309] and that I[G2504] shall be found[G2147] unto you[G5213] such as[G3634] ye would[G2309] not:[G3756] lest[G3381] there be debates,[G2054] envyings,[G2205] wraths,[G2372] strifes,[G2052] backbitings,[G2636] whisperings,[G5587] swellings,[G5450] tumults: [G181]

21. And lest,[G3361] when I come[G2064] again,[G3825] my[G3450] God[G2316] will humble[G5013] me[G3165] among[G4314] you,[G5209] and[G2532] that I shall bewail[G3996] many[G4183] which have sinned already,[G4258] and[G2532] have not[G3361] repented[G3340] of[G1909] the[G3588] uncleanness[G167] and[G2532] fornication[G4202] and[G2532] lasciviousness[G766] which[G3739] they have committed.[G4238]
