^{13 Ref} and ye have known that through infirmity of the flesh I did proclaim good news to you at the first,

^{14 Ref} and my trial that `is' in my flesh ye did not despise nor reject, but as a messenger of God ye did receive me -- as Christ Jesus;

^{15 Ref} what then was your happiness? for I testify to you, that if possible, your eyes having plucked out, ye would have given to me;

^{13 Ref} but you know that because of weakness of the flesh I preached the Gospel to you the first time.

^{14 Ref} That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn't despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

^{15 Ref} What was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.
