Galatians 4:11-20

11I fearG5399 for youG4771, that my effortsG2872 forG1519 youG4771 may have beenG4459 in vainG1500. 12I begG1189 youG4771, brothersG80, becomeG1096 likeG5613 meG1473, forG3754 I becameG2504 likeG5613 youG4771. You have done me no wrongG91G1473G3762.

You knowG1492 thatG3754 it was because ofG1223 an illnessG769G3588G4561 that I first preached the gospelG2097G3588G4386 to youG4771. 14AndG2532 although myG1473 illness was a trialG3986 to youG4771, you did not despiseG3756G1848 or rejectG1609 me. InsteadG235, you welcomedG1209 meG1473 as ifG5613 I were an angelG32 of GodG2316, as ifG5613 I were ChristG5547 JesusG2424 Himself. 15WhatG4226 thenG3767 has become of yourG4771 blessingG3108? ForG1063 I can testifyG3140 thatG3754, ifG1487 it were possibleG1415, you would have torn outG1846 yourG4771 eyesG3788 and givenG1325 them to meG1473. 16Have I now becomeG5620G1096 yourG4771 enemyG2190 by telling you the truthG226G4771?

17Those people are zealous for youG2206G4771, but notG3756 in a good wayG2573. InsteadG235, they wantG2309 to isolateG1576 youG4771 from us, so thatG2443 you may be zealousG2206 for themG846. 18NeverthelessG1161, it is goodG2570 to be zealousG2206 if it servesG1722 a nobleG2570 purpose—at any timeG3842, andG2532 notG3361 onlyG3440 whenG1722 I amG1473 withG3918G4314 youG4771.

19MyG1473 childrenG5043, for whomG3739 I am againG3825 in the pains of childbirthG5605 untilG3360 ChristG5547 is formedG3445 inG1722 youG4771, 20how I wishG2309 I could beG3918 withG4314 youG4771 nowG737 andG2532 changeG236 myG1473 toneG5456, becauseG3754 I am perplexedG639 aboutG1722 youG4771.
