Galatians 4:17

13but you know that because of weakness in the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time.

14That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn’t despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

15What was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.

16So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?

17They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate you, that you may seek them.

18But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.

19My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you—

20but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

21Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don’t you listen to the law?
