2 Corinthians 12:2

---

← 2 Corinthians 12:1	2 Corinthians 12:2 (KJV)	2 Corinthians 12:3 →
It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.	I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.	And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)

Compare ὀπτάνομαι.
• G1535 — εἴτε (eíte, i'-teh): and if, whether — from εἰ and τέ; if too:--if, or, whether.
