2 kwabaseKorinte 12:1-6

Kumelwe ukuba ngizibonge noma kungasizi; kepha sengizakuphatha imibono nezambulo zeNkosi. Ngiyamazi umuntu ekuKristu, sekuyiminyaka eyishumi nane – nakuba wayesemzimbeni angazi, nakuba wayengaphandle komzimba angazi, nguNkulunkulu owaziyo – onjalo wahlwithwa wayiswa kwelesithathu izulu. Yebo, ngiyamazi umuntu onjalo – nakuba wayesemzimbeni, nakuba wayengekho emzimbeni, angazi, nguNkulunkulu owaziyo – ukuthi wahlwithwa wayiswa eParadisi*, wezwa amazwi angakhulumekiyo, okungavunyelwe ukuba umuntu awakhulume. Ngonjalo ngizakuzibonga, kepha ngami uqobo angizukuzibonga, kuphela ngobuthakathaka bami. Ngokuba noma bengingathanda ukuzibonga, bengingezukuba yisiwula; ngokuba bengizakube ngikhuluma iqiniso, kepha ngiyayeka, funa umuntu acabange ngami okungaphezu kwalokho angibona ngiyikho nakuzwayo kimi.
