Galatians 4:16-20

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

17These men [the Judaizers] eagerly seek you [to entrap you with honeyed words and attention, to win you over to their philosophy], not honorably [for their purpose is not honorable or worthy of consideration]. They want to isolate you [from us who oppose them] so that you will seek them.

18Now it is always pleasant to be eagerly sought after [provided that it is] for a good purpose, and not just when I am with you [seeking you myself—but beware of the others doing it].

19My little children, for whom I am again in [the pains of] labor until Christ is [completely and permanently] formed within you—

20how I wish that I were with you now and could change my tone, because I am perplexed in regard to you.
