\v 27 I have worked hard and been in hardship, often gone without sleep; I have been hungry and thirsty with nothing to eat. I have been cold and without enough clothing.
\v 27 I have worked hard and I have been in hardship. I have often gone without sleep and I have been hungry and thirsty with nothing to eat. I have been cold and I have been without warm clothing.
\v 28 In addition to all that, I worry every day about how well the churches are doing.
\v 29 There is no fellow believer who is weak, without me being weak with him. There is no fellow believer who has led another person into sin, without me being very angry about it.

\v 32 At the city of Damascus, the governor under King Aretas put a guard around the city, hoping to arrest me.

\v 11 When I write this way, I am praising myself. But I had to do so, because you should have had confidence in me. I am just as good as these "super-apostles," even though I am really nothing at all.
\v 12 I gave you the true signs of being an authentic apostle—miracles that I did very patiently among you: Wonderful miracles that proved that I truly serve Jesus Christ.
\v 12 I demonstrated to you the true signs of being an apostle—miracles that I did with great patience among you—miracles that proved my claim to be an apostle, along with wonderful miracles and powerful proofs that only a true apostle could do.
\v 13 You certainly were just as important as all the other churches! The only way you were different was that I received no money from you as I did from them. Forgive me that I did not ask this from you!

\v 19 You do not really think that I have been trying to defend myself in this letter, do you? God knows that I am joined to Christ, and that I have written everything in order to strengthen you in trusting him.

\v 20 But when I come to you, I may not find you as I wished. When I come you may not want to listen to me. I fear that you are arguing a lot among yourselves, that some of you are jealous of one another, and that some of you become very angry with each other. I fear that some of you are putting yourselves first, that you are talking about each other, and that some of you are very selfish.
\v 21 I am afraid that when I come to you and see you, God will humble me. I am afraid that I will have to mourn for many of who disobeyed God earlier and have not stopped sinning in various sexual ways.
\v 20 From what I know of you, it would not surprise me to find you hurting one another. It would not surprise me that when I come to you, you may not want to listen to me. It would not surprise me that you would arguing a lot among yourselves, that some of you are becomiung jealous of one another, and that some of you are becoming very angry with each other. It would not surprise me if some of you are putting yourselves first, that you are talking about each other in secret, and that you are become very selfish.
\v 21 It would not surprise me if, when I come to you and see you, that God will humble me by how you are living your lives. It would not surprise me that, when I come to you, I will have to mourn for many of you who have disobeyed God before, and even now you have not stopped sinning with sexual acts that God forbids you to do.
