Galatians 4:13Wrench

BACK NEXT
You [Galatians] remember how at first, in my beat-up body I heralded [YAH's] Amazing Revelations to you.


Note: In addition to literal broken bones, Paul was perhaps struggling against his carnal nature, perhaps struggling to give up legalism.

Eugene Peterson renders this:
‘You were well aware that the reason I ended up heralding to you was that I was physically broken.
Prevented from continuing my journey, I was forced to stop with you.’
