Okay - I haven't really read the first part of this chapter very closely before - because I find v. 12 quite hilarious....I have no memory of Paul ever being so, well, human, before. I know he killed and hunted and persecuted -- but calling for self-castration is a new revelation for me.
Besides that, all I can find in this chapter is the re-running of the entire musical "The Music Machine" in my head...the 8-track tape my sister and I used to play over and over and over with songs for each of the fruits of the spirit.
"Once I tied a knot in my shoe, and it would not come loose. I tried and tried and pried and pried, but it would not come loose. I got so mad I kicked the door and stubbed my little toe - OH! - if only I had learned a little bit of self-control."
I really need to get a copy of that song for my own kids. Or just rejoice that we've hit velcro sandal season.
