The Dramatic Effect of the First Four Verses of Chapter 12

The first four verses of chapter 12 are this fulcrum where for dramatic effect now, he's sort of saying the person who went through all of that, we don't know yet, but there is a person then it's almost like it changes direction in a very drastic way. So maybe I can rephrase what you're saying and you can tell me if I'm capturing this. It almost feels like it's sandwiched between these two suffering passages. And so when you get to chapter 12, oh yes, this person who's gone through all these tribulations, all of these trials, God preserves Paul through all of this.
