1 Ali mi se ne pomaže hvaliti, jer ću doći na viđenja i otkrivenja Gospodnja.
1 It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast, but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 Znam čoveka u Hristu koji pre četrnaest godina (ili u telu ne znam; ili osim tela, ne znam: Bog zna) bi odnesen do trećeg neba.
2 I know a man in Christ who was caught up into the third heaven fourteen years ago—whether in the body, I don’t know, or whether out of the body, I don’t know; God knows.
3 I znam za takvog čoveka (ili u telu, ili osim tela, ne znam: Bog zna)
3 I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don’t know; God knows),
4 Da bi odnesen u raj, i ču neiskazane reči kojih čoveku nije slobodno govoriti.
4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
5 Tim ću se hvaliti, a sobom se neću hvaliti, već ako slabostima svojim.
5 On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
6 Jer kad bih se i hteo hvaliti, ne bih bio bezuman, jer bih istinu kazao; ali štedim da ne bi ko više pomislio za mene nego što me vidi ili čuje šta od mene.
6 For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.
7 I da se ne bih poneo za premnoga otkrivenja, dade mi se žalac u meso, anđeo sotonin, da me ćuša da se ne ponosim.
7 By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.
8 Zato triput Gospoda molih da odstupi od mene.
8 Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
9 I reče mi: Dosta ti je moja blagodat; jer se moja sila u slabosti pokazuje sasvim. Dakle ću se najslađe hvaliti svojim slabostima, da se useli u mene sila Hristova.
9 He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
10 Zato sam dobre volje u slabostima, u ruženju, u nevoljama, u progonjenjima, u tugama za Hrista: jer kad sam slab onda sam silan.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.
11 Postadoh bezuman hvaleći se: vi me nateraste; jer je trebalo da me vi hvalite; jer ni u čemu nisam manji od prevelikih apostola, ako i jesam ništa.
11 I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.
12 Jer znaci apostolovi učiniše se među vama u svakom trpljenju, u znacima i čudesima i silama.
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty works.
13 Jer šta je u čemu ste manji od ostalih crkava, osim samo što vam ja sam ne dosadih? Bacite na mene ovu krivicu.
13 For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the assemblies, unless it is that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
14 Evo sam gotov treći put da vam dođem, i ne dosađujem vam; jer ne tražim šta je vaše nego vas. Jer deca nisu dužna roditeljima imanja teći nego roditelji deci.
14 Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
15 A ja dragovoljno potrošiću i biću potrošen za duše vaše, ako i ljubim ja vas odviše, a vi mene manje ljubite.
15 I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
16 Ali neka bude, ja ne dosadih vama, nego lukav budući dobih vas prevarom.
16 Even so, I myself didn’t burden you. But you might say that being crafty, I caught you with deception.
17 Eda li vas šta zakidoh preko koga od onih koje slah k vama?
17 Did I take advantage of you by anyone of those whom I have sent to you?
18 Umolih Tita, i s njim poslah brata: eda li vas Tit šta zakide? Ne hodismo li jednim duhom? Ne jednim li stopama?
18 I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Didn’t we walk in the same spirit? Didn’t we walk in the same steps?
19 Mislite li opet da vam se odgovaramo? Pred Bogom u Hristu govorimo, a sve je, ljubazni, za vaše popravljanje.
19 Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
20 Jer se bojim da kad po čem dođem neću vas naći kakve hoću, i ja ću se naći vama kakva me nećete: da kako ne budu svađe, zavisti, srdnje, prkosi, opadanja, šaptanja, nadimanja, bune:
20 For I am afraid that perhaps when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don’t desire, that perhaps there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, or riots,
21 Da me opet kad dođem ne ponizi Bog moj u vas, i ne usplačem za mnogima koji su pre sagrešili i nisu se pokajali za nečistotu i kurvarstvo i sramotu, što počiniše.
21 that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness, sexual immorality, and lustfulness which they committed.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
What is this? Doth he who has spoken such great things say, [It is not expedient] "doubtless to glory?" as if he had said nothing?

For that there are spiritual creatures in the heavens, all the Scriptures loudly proclaim; and Paul expressly testifies that there are spiritual things when he declares that he was caught up into the third heaven, and again, that he was carried away to paradise, and heard unspeakable words which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
… ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God; and expressing not only his sorrow, but bitter lamentation over some who had formally sinned and had not repented of their uncleanness and fornications. If these emotions and affections, arising as they do from the love of what is …

… when in much danger and affliction, often besought God that the temptations might depart from him: nevertheless God regarded not his request, but his profit, and to signify this He said, "My grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength is made perfect in weakness." So that before He hath told him the reason, He benefits him against his will, …

For Peter was there, who carrieth the keys of heaven: and nothing wonderful, for Paul was there, who was caught up to the third heaven, and into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful far a man to utter.
