10. You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
11. I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.
12. I plead with you, brothers and sisters, become like me, for I became like you. You did me no wrong.
13. As you know, it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you,
14. and even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself.
