Paul was not talking about himself.

2 Corinthians 12:1-5 KJV

[1] It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

[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.

[5] Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.

Often commentators claim Paul was talking about himself here, but in an indirect way. Clearly, Paul was not talking about himself, as revealed in verse 5.

Thanks to PGC for this one.
