Bible verse
And I know that this man—whether in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows—
2 Corinthians 12:3 · BSB
The verses around it, from 2 Corinthians 12.
1 I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to gain, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord.
2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows.
3 And I know that this man—whether in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows—
4 was caught up to Paradise. The things he heard were too sacred for words, things that man is not permitted to tell.
5 I will boast about such a man, but I will not boast about myself, except in my weaknesses.
6 Even if I wanted to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me,
7 or because of these surpassingly great revelations. So to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.
