Paul describes a man caught up to the third heaven and hearing unspeakable words, then quickly shifts from visions to weakness. A thorn in the flesh keeps him from exaltation; after three requests for removal, Christ answers, “My grace is sufficient for thee.” Paul also reminds the Corinthians of apostolic signs and explains his pastoral concern for their spiritual good.
