- Боюсь за вас, не напрасно ли я трудился у вас.
- Прошу вас, братия, будьте, как я, потому что и я, как вы. Вы ничем не обидели меня:
- знаете, что, [хотя] я в немощи плоти благовествовал вам в первый раз,
- но вы не презрели искушения моего во плоти моей и не возгнушались [им], а приняли меня, как Ангела Божия, как Христа Иисуса.
- Как вы были блаженны! Свидетельствую о вас, что, если бы возможно было, вы исторгли бы очи свои и отдали мне.

- I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.
- I plead with you, brothers, become like me, for I became like you. You have done me no wrong.
- As you know, it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you.
- 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.
- What has happened to all your joy? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.
