10. You still follow teachings about special days, months, seasons, and years.
11. I am afraid for you. I fear that my work for you has been wasted.
12. Brothers, I was like you; so I beg you to become like me. You were very good to me before.
13. You remember that I came to you the first time because I was sick. That was when I preached the Good News to you.

16. Now am I your enemy because I tell you the truth?
