11. I fear for you, lest somehow efsher (perhaps) I have labored for you lashav (in vain).
12. Become as I am, because I also became as you are, Achim B'Moshiach. I implore you. You did me no wrong.
13. And you know that it was due to chulshat habasar (weakness of the flesh, sickness) that I first preached the Besuras HaGeulah to you,
14. and your nisayon (trial) in my basar you did not despise nor did you loathe, but as a malach Hashem you received me, as Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua himself.
15. Where then is your birkat Shomayim? For I testify to you that if possible, having torn out your eynayeem (eyes), you would have made a mattanah (gift) of them to me.
16. So, then, have I become your oyev (enemy) by telling you HaEmes?
17. They (the mohalim haGoyim) are zealously courting you, but not in a good way; rather, they desire to cut you off and shut you out, in order that you may be zealous for them.
