Gálatas 4:13 Meaning and Commentary

Galatians 4:13

Ye know how, through infirmity of the flesh
Meaning either their infirmity, to which the apostle accommodated himself in preaching the Gospel to them, delivering it in such a manner as suited with their capacities, feeding them with milk, and not with strong meat; or his own infirmity, respecting either some particular bodily infirmity and disorder, as the headache, with which he is said to be greatly troubled; or the weakness of his bodily presence, the mean outward appearance he made, the contemptibleness of his voice, and the great humility with which he behaved; or rather the many reproaches, afflictions, and persecutions which attended him, when, says he,

I preached the Gospel unto you at the first;
not the law, but the Gospel; and this he did at his first entrance among them, and was the first that preached it to them, and was the means of their conversion; and therefore, being their spiritual Father, they ought to be as he was, and follow him as they had him for an example.

Gálatas 4:13 In-Context

11 Temo que os meus esforços por vocĂȘs tenham sido inĂșteis.
12 Eu suplico, irmĂŁos, que se tornem como eu, pois eu me tornei como vocĂȘs. Em nada vocĂȘs me ofenderam;
13 como sabem, foi por causa de uma doença que preguei o evangelho pela primeira vez a vocĂȘs.
14 Embora a minha doença tenha sido uma provação, vocĂȘs nĂŁo me trataram com desprezo ou desdĂ©m; ao contrĂĄrio, receberam-me como se eu fosse um anjo de Deus, como o prĂłprio Cristo Jesus.
15 Que aconteceu com a alegria de vocĂȘs? Tenho certeza de que, se fosse possĂ­vel, vocĂȘs teriam arrancado os prĂłprios olhos para dĂĄ-los a mim.
