2 Corinthians 12:1 ASV: 


Sure, here's the ASV translation of: 
2 Corinthians 12:1: 
I must needs glory, though it is not expedient; but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 12:2: 
I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not; or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth), such a one caught up even to the third heaven.

2 Corinthians 12:3: 
And I know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I know not; God knoweth),

2 Corinthians 12:4: 
how that he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

2 Corinthians 12:5: 
On behalf of such a one will I glory: but on mine own behalf I will not glory, save in `my' weaknesses.

2 Corinthians 12:6: 
For if I should desire to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I shall speak the truth: but I forbear, lest any man should account of me above that which he seeth me `to be', or heareth from me.

2 Corinthians 12:7: 
And by reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, that I should not be exalted overmuch.

2 Corinthians 12:8: 
Concerning this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

2 Corinthians 12:9: 
And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for `my' power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

2 Corinthians 12:10: 
Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

2 Corinthians 12:11: 
I am become foolish: ye compelled me; for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I am nothing.

2 Corinthians 12:12: 
Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, by signs and wonders and mighty works.

2 Corinthians 12:13: 
For what is there wherein ye were made inferior to the rest of the churches, except `it be' that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive me this wrong.

2 Corinthians 12:14: 
Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a burden to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

2 Corinthians 12:15: 
And I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?

2 Corinthians 12:16: 
But be it so, I did not myself burden you; but, being crafty, I caught you with guile.

2 Corinthians 12:17: 
Did I take advantage of you by any one of them whom I have sent unto you?

2 Corinthians 12:18: 
I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? walked we not in the same spirit? `walked we' not in the same steps?

2 Corinthians 12:19: 
Ye think all this time that we are excusing ourselves unto you. In the sight of God speak we in Christ. But all things, beloved, `are' for your edifying.

2 Corinthians 12:20: 
For I fear, lest by any means, when I come, I should find you not such as I would, and should myself be found of you such as ye would not; lest by any means `there should be' strife, jealousy, wraths, factions, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults;

2 Corinthians 12:21: 
lest again when I come my God should humble me before you, and I should mourn for many of them that have sinned heretofore, and repented not of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they committed.
