Galatians 4:12-20

12 Brothers, ^{▼▼Or Brothers and sisters; also verses 28, 31} ^bI entreat you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. ^cYou did me no wrong. 13 You know it was ^dbecause of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you ^eat first, 14 and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me ^fas an angel of God, ^gas Christ Jesus. 15 What then has become of your blessedness? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have gouged out your eyes and given them to me. 16 Have I then become your enemy by ^htelling you the truth? ^{▼▼Or by dealing truthfully with you} 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 It is always good to be made much of for a good purpose, and ^jnot only when I am present with you, 19 ^kmy little children, ^lfor whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ ^mis formed in you! 20 I wish I could be present with you now and change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
