Galatians 4:12-20 (Revised Standard Version)
View In My Bible
12
Brethren, I beseech you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong;
13
you know it was because of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you at first;
14
and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.
15
What has become of the satisfaction you felt? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.
16
Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth?
17
They make much of you, but for no good purpose; they want to shut you out, that you may make much of them.
18
For a good purpose it is always good to be made much of, and not only when I am present with you.
19
My little children, with whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you!
20
I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
