Galatians 4:12-17

12Brothers, I entreat you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong.

13You know it was because of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you at first,

14and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.

15What 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.

16Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth?

17They make much of you, but for no good purpose. They want to shut you out, that you may make much of them.
