ὁ δὲ Παῦλος ἀποβλέπων εἰς μόνην τὴν ἀγαθοσύνην τοῦ Χριστοῦ οὐδὲν φαῦλον ἐποίει αὐτοῖς, ἀλλ᾽ ἔστεργεν αὐτοὺς σφόδρα, ὥστε πάντα τὰ λόγια κυρίου [ καὶ τῆς διδασκαλίας καὶ τῆς ἑρμηνείας τοῦ εὐαγγελίου ] καὶ τῆς γεννήσεως καὶ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τοῦ ἠγαπημένου ἐγλύκαινεν αὐτούς, καὶ τὰ μεγαλεῖα τοῦ Χριστοῦ, πῶς ἀπεκαλύφθη αὐτῷ, κατὰ ῥῆμα διηγεῖτο αὐτοῖς.
Paul, seeing only the goodness of Christ, does his false friends no harm but loves them dearly — sweetening them with the whole story of the Lord: his birth, his resurrection, and how the mysteries of Christ were revealed to Paul himself.
