According to one Bible scholar, when Paul wrote those words to Christians in Corinth, he was saying: “I am willing to spend my strength, and time, and life, and all that I have for your welfare, as a father cheerfully does for his children. ”
Ühe piibliõpetlase arvates tahtis Paulus neid sõnu Korintose kristlastele kirjutades öelda: „Ma olen valmis teie heaks andma kogu oma jõu, aja ja elu ning kõik, mis mul on, nii nagu üks isa oma laste nimel seda heameelega teeb. ”
