2 Corinthians letter 12

12
chapter twelve
1I must me boast, although it profits not; I will however come to visions and revelations of the L-rd. 2I know a man in the Moshiach, who for fourteen years—whether in the body, know I not, whether out of the body, know I not; Hashem know— is the such a one taken up become unto to the third heaven; 3and I know, that the such a one man—whether in the body, whether out of the body, know I not; Hashem knows— 4is taken up become in Garden of Eden into, and did hear untellable words, which any man permitted not speak out. 5with such a one will I me boast; however with me myself will I me not boast, except with the weaknesses of mine. 6because when I shall me will boast, will I not be any fool; for I will say the truth; I avoid it however, so that it shall me no one not regard for more than he sees me, or hears of me. 7and on account of the extraordinary great of the revelations—so that I shall me not too much to raise up, are we given having become a thorn in the body, a messenger from the Satan, that he shall me beat up with the fist, so that I shall me not too much to raise up. 8for the this have I three times begged the L-rd, that He let remove of me. 9and He has to me said: my grace is enough for you (SG), because my power is perfected in weakness. will I me to the love therefore more boast with my weaknesses, so that Moshiach's power shall rest on me. 10therefore have I a well pleased in weaknesses, in shame, in exigencies, in persecutions, in distresses, for Moshiach's sake; because when I am weak, then am I a strong man. 11I have me made to fool: you (PL) have me compelled (thereto); because I would have ought praised become of you (PL); because I am in any thing not behind the “super” Shlichim, although I am nothing. 12the signs of a Shliach are yet worked become among you (PL) in all endurance, in signs and wonders and works of power. 13because with what are you (PL) inferior stood become in comparison with the other kehiles, except that I am you (PL) not emcumber? be me forgiven the these wrong!
14just am I already ready to come to you (PL) for the third time; and will you (PL) not fall to be a burden, for I seek not yours, but you (PL); for the children are not obligated to store up treasures for the parents, but the parents for the children. 15I however will more eagerly spend (what I have) and spent be for your (PL) souls. if I have you (PL) so abundantly loved, am I less beloved? 16but shall it be so (assumed), I have you (PL) all the same not disturb/burden; but because I am wily/crafty, have I you (PL) taken with craftiness. 17(question) have I you (PL) then used through anyone of the (ones), whom I have sent to you (PL)? 18I have implored Titus, and have with (him) sent the brother. (question) did Titus you (PL) use? (question) have we then not proceeded in the same spirit? (question) not in the same footsteps? 19already long consider you (PL) yourselves with the opinion, that we defend ourselves before you (PL). before Hashem speak we in the Moshiach. all however, beloved of mine, is for your edification. 20because I have fear, lest, coming, will I you (PL) not find just as I want; and I shall found be such, as you (PL) want not; lest will be quarrels, envy, anger, quarrels, language evil, slander, conceit, unrest; 21lest, when I will come, will my G-d me lower before you (PL), and I will mourn over a many, which have already before had sinned and not repentance done on their impurity and fornication and debauchery, which they have committed.
