The [books of Corinthians in the Bible], [1 Corinthians] and [2 Corinthians], are letters written by [the Apostle Paul] to the church in Corinth, a wealthy and influential city known for its moral challenges. Paul addresses various issues within the church, including divisions, sexual immorality, and the use of spiritual gifts, offering guidance on doctrine and behavior. The overarching theme is the importance of unity, love, and living a life that reflects the teachings of Jesus, even amidst worldly temptations.

2 Corinthians 12:2-4

New International Version

2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. 3 And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows— 4 was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell.

2 Corinthians 12:2-4

King James Version

2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)

4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
