Galatians 4:12-17
12I beg of you, 1brothers and sisters, 2become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong;
13but you know that it was because of a 3bodily illness that I preached the gospel to you the 4first time;
14and you did not despise that which was a trial to you in my 5bodily condition, nor express contempt, but 6you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus Himself.
15Where then is 7that sense of blessing you had? For I testify about you that, if possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.
16So have I become your enemy 8by 9telling you the truth?
17They eagerly seek you, not 10in a commendable way, but they want to shut you out so that you will seek them.
