 We have seen the spiritual power and tact with which the apostle handles his glorying, how he blends " the man in Christ" with that which was peculiar to himself so as to cut off all self or fleshly boasting, and yet afford every saint intelligent of his privileges the dame conscious privilege substantially as he had himself received miraculously. (Notes on 2 Corinthians 12:1-6 by W. Kelly)
 So David said not a word about the lion and the bear which he was enabled to kill while engaged in his lowly task, till it was needful to allay the fears of others to God's glory; and the apostle only spoke many years after a wondrous experience which others less spiritual would have talked of everywhere for as many years or more. (Notes on 2 Corinthians 12:1-6 by W. Kelly)
 Body there or not, he was not hindered from feeling the glory to be beyond the measure of man. There the glorified will be to enjoy all with Christ at His coming, in bodies like His own; and there the disembodied saint goes to be with Him. (Notes on 2 Corinthians 12:1-6 by W. Kelly)
