圣经My boasting may be useless, but I have no choice but to do so. Now I want to talk about the manifestation and revelation of the Lord.
I recognize a person in Christ who was mentioned to the third heaven fourteen years ago. Or inside, I don’t know. Or outside, I don’t know either. Only God knows.
I recognize this person, whether inside or outside, I don’t know. Only God knows.
He was brought up to the paradise and heard hidden words that were not to be spoken by humans.
I want to boast about this person. But for myself, apart from my weakness, I don’t boast.
I’m just willing to boast, but it’s not crazy. Because I must tell the truth. But I forbid not speaking, I’m afraid some people have looked up to me more than what they see and hear in me.
I am afraid that I may become too proud because of the great revelation I have received. Therefore, a thorn has been added to my flesh, which is Satan’s servant, to attack me, so that I may not become too proud.
For this matter, I have begged the Lord three times to make this thorn leave me.
He told me that my grace is enough for you to use. Because my ability appears complete in human weakness. So I prefer to boast about my weakness, so that the power of Christ may shield me.
For the sake of Christ, I find weakness, humiliation, distress, persecution, and hardship to be joyful. Because whenever I am weak, I become strong.
I have become a fool, forced by you. I should have been praised by you. Although I am nothing, I am not inferior to the largest apostles in anything.
I am among you, with all kinds of patience, and through miracles, wonders, and powers, I have revealed the credentials of the apostles.
Besides not being burdened by me, what else can you do that is inferior to other churches? Please forgive me for this injustice.
Now I intend to come to you for the third time, and I will not burden you, because what I am seeking is from you, not your wealth. Children should not accumulate wealth for their parents, parents should accumulate wealth for their children.
I am also willing to spend money and effort on your souls. Does the more I love you, the less I receive your love?
Well, I’m not tiring you myself, but some of you say that I’m deceitful and using cunning to trap you.
Have I ever taken advantage of the people I sent to you through them alone?
I advised Titus to come to you and sent that brother with him. Has Titus taken advantage of you? Do we act differently, is it one mind? Is difference a footprint? (Spirit or Spirit).
Until now, you still think that we are filing a lawsuit against you. We speak before God in Christ. Dear brothers, all things are for the purpose of shaping you.
I am afraid that when I come back, I will see that you are not what I want, and you will see that I am not what you want. I am also afraid of disputes, jealousy, anger, cliques, slander, slander, arrogance, and chaos.
And be afraid that when I come, my God will make me ashamed before you. And because many people have sinned in the past, engaged in filth, adultery, and debauchery, and refused to repent, I am sorrowful.
