11 I am afraid for you, lest perhaps I have labored for you in vain!
12 I ask you, brothers, become like me, because I also have become like you. You have done me no wrong!
13 But you know that because of an illness of the flesh I proclaimed the gospel to you the first time.
14 And you did not despise or disdain what was a trial for you in my flesh, but you welcomed me like an angel of God, like Christ Jesus.
15 So where is your blessing? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me!
16 So then, have I become your enemy by being truthful to you?
17 They zealously seek you, not commendably, but they want to exclude you, in order that you may seek them zealously.
