Verse 2

third heaven

Verse 4

paradise

See note on hades, (See Scofield " :-") .

Verse 7

thorn

It has been conjectured that Paul's "thorn in the flesh" was chronic ophthalmia, inducing bodily weakness, and a repulsive appearance Galatians 4:15; 1 Corinthians 2:3; 1 Corinthians 2:4; 2 Corinthians 10:10. This cannot be positively known, and the reserve of Scripture is as sure a mark of inspiration as its revelations. Paul's particular "thorn" is not described that his consolations may avail for all to who any thorn is given.

Verse 9

perfect in

(See Scofield " :-") .

Verse 21

sinned

Sin. (See Scofield " :-") .
