Despite Paul's illness, which would have led some to believe that he could not possibly be God’s servant, Paul was warmly received by the Galatians. They welcomed him with joy; they listened to his teaching; they acknowledged him as a servant of God with a message from Christ.1
14 Et mis à l'épreuve par ma chair, vous n'avez témoigné ni mépris ni dégoût; vous m'avez, au contraire, reçu comme un ange de Dieu, comme Jésus-Christ.
