第十二章

Chapter Twelve

夸口固然无意

Boasting is certainly unintentional.

但我是不得已的

But I had no choice.

我要来说主的意向和启示

I want to speak about the Lord's intentions and revelations.

我认得一个在基督里的人

I know a person in Christ.

十四年前

Fourteen years ago.

这样的一位被提

Such a person is being promoted.

直到第三层天里

Until the third layer of heaven.

或在身内我不晓得

Or inside me, I don't know.

或在身外我也不晓得

Or I don't know outside of myself.

只有神晓得

Only God knows.

并且我认得这样一个人

And I recognize such a person.

或在身内或在身外

Either within the body or outside the body.

我都不晓得

I don’t know at all.

他被提进乐园里

听见不能言传的话语

Hearing words that cannot be expressed.

是人不可说的

It is something that cannot be spoken of by people.

为这样的一位我要夸口

I want to brag about someone like this.

但是为我自己

But for myself.

除了我的软弱以外

Except for my weakness.

我并不夸口

I am not boasting.

我即使愿意夸口

Even if I am willing to boast.

也不是欲望

It is not desire either.

因为我

Because I

我必说真话

I must speak the truth.

只是我习口不说

It's just that I'm not used to speaking.

恐怕有人评估我

I'm afraid someone will evaluate me.

过于他在我身上所看见的

More than what he sees in me.

或从我所听见的

Or from what I have heard.

又恐怕我因所得启示的超越

I am also afraid of the transcendence brought about by the insights I have gained.

就过于高抬自己

It is simply raising oneself too high.

所以有一根刺

So there is a thorn.

就是撒旦的使者

It is the messenger of Satan.

夹在我的肉体上

Pinch on my flesh.

为要攻击我

免得我过于高抬自己

为要攻击我

我三次求过主

叫这次离开我

他对我说

He said to me.

我的恩典够你用的

My grace is sufficient for you.

因为我的能力

Because of my ability.

是在人的软弱上显得完全

It is in human weakness that perfection is revealed.

所以我极其喜欢夸我的软弱

So I extremely like to boast about my weakness.

好叫基督的能力复辟我

Let the power of Christ restore me.

因此我为基督的缘故

Therefore, for the sake of Christ.

就以软弱

Just with weakness.
