2 Οἶδα G1492 ἄνθρωπον G444 ἐν G1722 Χριστῷ G5547 πρὸ G4253 ἐτῶν G2094 δεκατεσσάρων G1180 (
εἴτε G1535 ἐν G1722 σώματι G4983, οὐκ G3756 οἶδα G1492· εἴτε G1535 ἐκτὸς G1622 τοῦ G3588
σώματος G4983, οὐκ G3756 οἶδα G1492. ὁ G3588 Θεὸς G2316 οἶδεν G1492· ) ἁρπαγέντα G726 τὸν
G3588 τοιοῦτον G5108 ἕως G2193 τρίτου G5154 οὐρανοῦ G3772·
3 καὶ G2532 οἶδα G1492 τὸν G3588 τοιοῦτον G5108 ἄνθρωπον G444, ( εἴτε G1535 ἐν G1722 σώματι
G4983, εἴτε G1535 ἐκτὸς G1622 τοῦ G3588 σώματος G4983, οὐκ G3756 οἶδα G1492· ὁ G3588 Θεὸς
G2316 οἶδεν G1492, )
4 ὅτι G3754 ἡρπάγη G726 εἰς G1519 τὸν G3588 παράδεισον G3857, καὶ G2532 ἤκουσεν G191 ἄῤῥητα
G731 ῥήματα G4487, ἃ G3739 οὐκ G3756 ἐξὸν G1832 ἀνθρώπῳ G444 λαλῆσαι G2980.
5 ὑπὲρ G5228 τοῦ G3588 τοιούτου G5108 καυχήσομαι G2744, ὑπὲρ G5228 δὲ G1161 ἐμαυτοῦ G1683
οὐ G3756 καυχήσομαι G2744, εἰ G1487 μὴ G3361 ἐν G1722 ταῖς G3588 ἀσθενείαις G769 μου G3450.
6 ἐὰν G1437 γὰρ G1063 θελήσω G2309 καυχήσασθαι G2744, οὐκ G3756 ἔσομαι G2071 ἄφρων G878·
ἀλήθειαν G225 γὰρ G1063 ἐρῶ G2046. φείδομαι G5339 δὲ G1161 μή G3361 τις G5100 εἰς G1519 ἐμὲ
G1691 λογίσηται G3049 ὑπὲρ G5228 ὃ G3739 βλέπει G991 με G3165, ἢ G2228 ἀκούει G191 τι G5100 ἐξ
G1537 ἐμοῦ G1700.
7 Καὶ G2532 τῇ G3588 ὑπερβολῇ G5236 τῶν G3588 ἀποκαλύψεων G602, ἵνα G2443 μὴ G3361
ὑπεραίρωμαι G5229, ἐδόθη G1325 μοι G3427 σκόλοψ G4647 τῇ G3588 σαρκὶ G4561, ἄγγελος G32
σατᾶν G4566, ἵνα G2443 με G3165 κολαφίζῃ G2852, ἵνα G2443 μὴ G3361 ὑπεραίρωμαι G5229.
8 ὑπὲρ G5228 τούτου G5127 τρὶς G5151 τὸν G3588 Κύριον G2962 παρεκάλεσα G3870, ἵνα G2443
ἀποστῇ G868 ἀπ G575᾽ ἐμοῦ G1700·
9 καὶ G2532 εἴρηκέ G2046 μοι G3427, Ἀρκεῖ G714 σοι G4671 ἡ G3588 χάρις G5485 μου G3450· ἡ G3588
γὰρ G1063 δύναμίς G1411 μου G3450 ἐν G1722 ἀσθενείᾳ G769 τελειοῦται G5048. Ἥδιστα G2236 οὖν
G3767 μᾶλλον G3123 καυχήσομαι G2744 ἐν G1722 ταῖς G3588 ἀσθενείαις G769 μου G3450, ἵνα G2443
ἐπισκηνώσῃ G1981 ἐπ G1909᾽ ἐμὲ G1691 ἡ G3588 δύναμις G1411 τοῦ G3588 Χριστοῦ G5547.
10 διὸ G1352 εὐδοκῶ G2106 ἐν G1722 ἀσθενείαις G769, ἐν G1722 ὕβρεσιν G5196, ἐν G1722 ἀνάγκαις
G318, ἐν G1722 διωγμοῖς G1375, ἐν G1722 στενοχωρίαις G4730 ὑπὲρ G5228 Χριστοῦ G5547· ὅταν
G3752 γὰρ G1063 ἀσθενῶ G770, τότε G5119 δυνατός G1415 εἰμι G1510.
11 Γέγονα G1096 ἄφρων G878 καυχώμενος G2744· ὑμεῖς G5210 με G3165 ἠναγκάσατε G315· ἐγὼ
G1473 γὰρ G1063 ὤφειλον G3784 ὑφ G5259᾽ ὑμῶν G5216 συνίστασθαι G4921· οὐδὲν G3762 γὰρ
G1063 ὑστέρησα G5302 τῶν G3588 ὑπὲρ G5228 λίαν G3029 ἀποστόλων G652, εἰ G1487 καὶ G2532
οὐδέν G3762 εἰμι G1510.
12 τὰ G3588 μὲν G3303 σημεῖα G4592 τοῦ G3588 ἀποστόλου G652 κατειργάσθη G2716 ἐν G1722 ὑμῖν
G5213 ἐν G1722 πάσῃ G3956 ὑπομονῇ G5281, ἐν G1722 σημείοις G4592 καὶ G2532 τέρασι G5059 καὶ
G2532 δυνάμεσι G1411·
