Galatians 4:16-23

16So then, have I become your enemy because I told you the truth?

17They court you eagerly, but not for good. They want to exclude you from me, so that you would pursue them.

18But it is always good to be pursued in a good manner — and not just when I am with you.

19My children, I am again suffering labor pains for you until Christ is formed in you.

20I would like to be with you right now and change my tone of voice, because I don’t know what to do about you.

21Tell me, you who want to be under the law, don’t you hear the law?

22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave and the other by a free woman.

23But the one by the slave was born as a result of the flesh, while the one by the free woman was born through promise.
