Description: Paul refuses to boast in his mystical experience of being caught up to the third heaven because unverifiable spiritual experiences prove nothing and easily become self-exalting; true, biblical strength is shown not by what you claim to have seen or heard from God privately, but by the sacrificial, truthful, costly life that others can actually see and hear from you.
