爾知我昔以形軀之弱、宣福音於爾、

爾知我初荏弱、傳福音與爾、

爾知昔我身弱、傳福音與爾、

尚憶初次為爾講述福音時、微軀患恙、不堪顦顇、

As you know, it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you,

You know it was because of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you at first,

Surely you remember that I was sick when I first brought you the Good News.

you know that previously I preached the gospel to you because of a weakness of the flesh.

but you know that it was because of a bodily illness that I preached the gospel to you the first time;

You know that because of physical infirmity I preached the gospel to you at the first.

but ye know that because of an infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you the first time:

you know that previously I preached the gospel to you because of a physical illness.

Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.

But you know it was because of a physical illness that I first proclaimed the gospel to you,

but you know that because of weakness in the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time.

When I came to you, I was weak and very afraid and trembling all over.

God has shown me amazing and wonderful things. People should not think more of me because of it. So I wouldn’t become proud of myself, I was given a problem. This problem caused pain in my body. It is a messenger from Satan to make me suffer.Three times I begged the Lord to take it away from me.But he said to me,“ My grace is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.” So I am very happy to brag about how weak I am. Then Christ’s power can rest on me.Because of how I suffered for Christ, I’m glad that I am weak. I am glad in hard times. I am glad when people say mean things about me. I am glad when things are difficult. And I am glad when people make me suffer. When I am weak, I am strong.

Some say,“ His letters sound important. They are powerful. But in person he doesn’t seem like much. And what he says doesn’t amount to anything.”

It’s true that I haven’t been trained as a speaker. But I do have knowledge. I’ve made that very clear to you in every way.

If I have to brag, I will brag about the things that show how weak I am.

I am amazed. You are so quickly deserting the one who chose you. He chose you to live in the grace that Christ has provided. You are turning to a different“ good news.”

It is true that Christ was nailed to the cross because he was weak. But Christ lives by God’s power. In the same way, we share his weakness. But by God’s power we will live with Christ as we serve you.

Paul and his companions traveled all through the area of Phrygia and Galatia. The Holy Spirit had kept them from preaching the word in Asia Minor.
