Second letter to the Corinthians 12:1

I must [reluctantly] praise myself, even though it does not help.
[Paul reminds the Corinthians again that it is foolish to compare themselves with one another. However, he must do so to show how foolish his rivals in Corinth have acted. Paul continues from "a humiliating descent to escape people" in the previous verses to "a dramatic elevation to God's throne." The false apostles seem to have told breathtaking stories about their visions and dreams that captivated some of the Corinthians. Visions were an important part of pagan culture, and it is possible that this way of thinking remained. Paul is now forced to address this topic. However, this story has an anticlimactic ending; Paul cannot tell anything about the experiences in paradise.]
