Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:

How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is ➔ not lawful for a man to utter.

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

For though I would desire to glory, I shall ➔ not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.

And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
