2 Corinthians 12:3
Paul’s Revelation
2I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows.3And I know that this man—whether in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows—4was caught up to Paradise. The things he heard were too sacred for words, things that man is not permitted to tell.

Translation for Translators
But he was suddenly taken {Christ suddenly took him} up to a place called Paradise, that wonderful place where God lives. I repeat that I do not know whether his body went there or only his spirit. Only God knows that. While he was there, God told him some things that he does not allow human beings to tell others about.
