Galatians 4:8-20
8But thenG5119 indeed, not knowing 1GodG2316, ye wereG1510 in bondage to those who by natureG5449 areG1510 not 2godsG2316;
9but nowG1161, knowingG1097 3GodG2316, but ratherG3123 being knownG1097 by 4GodG2316, howG4459 do ye turnG1994 againG3825 to the weakG772 and beggarly principles to which ye desireG2309 to be againG3825 anew in bondage?
10Ye observe daysG2250 and monthsG3376 and timesG2540 and years.
11I am afraidG5399 of you, lestG3361 indeed I have laboured in vainG1500 as to you.
12Be as I [am], for I also [am] as ye, brethren, I beseech you: ye have not at all wrongedG91 me.
13But ye know that in weaknessG769 of the fleshG4561 I announced the glad tidings to you at the first;
14and my temptationG3986, which [was] in my fleshG4561, ye did not slight nor reject with contempt; but ye receivedG1209 me as an angelG32 of 5GodG2316, as ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
15What thenG3767 [was] your blessednessG3108? for I bearG3140 you witnessG3140 that, if possibleG1415, plucking out your own eyesG3788 ye would have givenG1325 [them] to me.
16So I have becomeG1096 your enemyG2190 in speakingG226 the truthG226 to you?
17They are not rightlyG2573 zealous after you, but desireG2309 to shut you out [from us], that ye may be zealous after them.
18But [it is] rightG2570 to be zealous at all times in what is rightG2570, and not onlyG3440 when I am presentG3918 with you —
19my childrenG5043, of whom I againG3825 travail in birth until ChristG5547 shall have been formed in you:
20and I should wishG2309 to be presentG737 with you nowG1161, and changeG236 my voiceG5456, for I am perplexedG639 as to you.
