2 Corinthians 12:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 I know a man [a]in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether he were in the body, I cannot tell, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth) which was taken up into the [b]third heaven.
3 And I know such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth.)
4 How that he was taken up into [c]Paradise, and heard words which [d]cannot be spoken, which are not [e]possible for man to utter.
