2 Corinthians 12:6
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. 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.
This text belongs to Paul's account of visions of the glory of heaven, in which he was received into the third heaven. After being so received, an affliction came to buffet him. The honor thus conferred upon him called for humility, not self-exaltation.
