but you knowthat it was becauseof a bodilyillnessthat I preached the gospelto you the first time;
"Now ifa manlosesthe hairof his head,he is bald;he is clean.
Jesus was going throughoutallGalilee,teachingin their synagoguesand proclaimingthe gospelof the kingdom,and healingeverykindof diseaseand every kindof sicknessamongthe people.
They passed throughthe Phrygianand Galatianregion,having been forbiddenby the HolySpiritto speakthe wordin Asia;
I was with you in weaknessand in fearand in muchtrembling,
For they say,"His lettersare weightyand strong,but his personalpresenceis unimpressiveand his speechcontemptible."
IfI haveto boast,I will boastof what pertains to my weakness.
But evenifI am unskilledin speech,yetI am not [so] in knowledge;in fact,in everywaywe have made [this] evidentto you in all things.
For indeedHe was crucifiedbecauseof weakness,yetHe livesbecauseof the powerof God.For we alsoare weakin Him, yetwe will livewith Him becauseof the powerof God[directed] towardyou.
I am amazedthat you are soquicklydesertingHim who calledyou by the graceof Christ,for a differentgospel;
I begof you, brethren,becomeas I [am], for I also[have become] as you [are]. You have doneme nowrong;
and that which was a trialto you in my bodily conditionyou did not despiseorloathe,but you receivedme as an angelof God,as ChristJesus[Himself].
But it is goodalwaysto be eagerly soughtin a commendable manner,and not onlywhenI am presentwith you.
