29. If anyone is weak, I feel weak. If anyone is led into sin, I burn on the inside.
30. If I have to brag, I will brag about the things that show how weak I am.
31. I am not lying. The God and Father of the Lord Jesus knows this. May God be praised forever.
32. In Damascus the governor who served under King Aretas had their city guarded. He wanted to arrest me.
