2 CORINTHIANS 12:6 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.”
Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so that no one will give me credit beyond what they can see of me or hear from me — Paul *repeats* verse 5, emphasizing through *repetitio* the principle: *reputation* must align with *verifiable conduct*. *Mystical experience* does not exempt apostles from *ethical accountability*.
