Connecting Statement:
As Paul continues to confirm his apostleship, he states specific things that have happened to him since he became a believer.
Are they Hebrews? ... Are they Israelites? ... Are they descendants of Abraham?
Paul is asking questions the Corinthians might be asking and then answering them to emphasize that he is as much a Jew as the super-apostles are. You should keep the question-and-answer form if possible. Alternate translation: "They want you to think they are important and to believe what they say because they are Hebrews and Israelites and descendants of Abraham. Well, so am I."
