2 Corinthians 12:4-6

EasyEnglish Bible

^3-4 I know that God took this man up to paradise. I do not know whether this man was still in his body or not. Only God knows. When this man was in heaven, he heard about secret things. Those are things that no words can describe. God will not let any person speak about those things. They are too special.^[a]

⁵ I will say proud things about a man like that. But I will not be proud of anything good about myself. I will only be proud of things that show my weakness. ⁶ If I did want to praise myself, that would not make me a fool. No, because I would be saying true things. But I will not say good things about myself. I want everyone to think properly about me. People should look at how I live. They should think about what I say. That is enough for them to decide about me.
