10. You observe days and months and seasons and years.
11. I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain!

13. you know it was because of a physical ailment that I proclaimed the Good News to you the first time;
14. and though my physical condition was a trial to you, you did not hate or reject me. No, you welcomed me as a messenger of God—or even as Messiah Yeshua.
