Paul is not asking for information, but is using these two questions here to express the objections that someone who opposes him might have to what he said in [9:14–18](../09/14.md). If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way.
