[Paul can sense the question, and he isn't cruel in restating it; it's one of the things he's curious about, both for in the interest of his own answer but also for the sake of knowing what Amos might be interested in working on.]
I care about my entire congregation; everyone in it matters to me. But some people there were more important to me than others.
There's nothing wrong with caring about people differently. Some are important to you while they're around; some stay with you after you're gone. That's how it is for most people, I think.
