Galatians 4:12-17
12I begG1189 of you, 1brothersG80 and sisters, 2becomeG1096 as I am, for I alsoG2532 have become as you are. You have doneG91 me noG3762 wrongG91;
13but you knowG3609 that it was becauseG1223 of a 3bodilyG4561 illnessG769 that I preachedG2097 the gospelG2097 to you the 4firstG4387 timeG4387;
14and you did not despiseG1848 that whichG3986 wasG3986 aG3986 trialG3986 to you in my 5bodilyG4561 conditionG4561, norG3761 expressG1609 contemptG1609, but 6you receivedG1209 me as an angelG32 of GodG2316, as ChristG5547 JesusG2424 Himself.
15WhereG4226 thenG3767 is 7that senseG3108 ofG3108 blessingG3108 you had? For I testifyG3140 about you that, ifG1487 possibleG1415, you would have tornG1846 outG1846 your eyesG3788 and givenG1325 them to me.
16SoG5620 have I becomeG1096 your enemyG2190 8by 9tellingG226 you theG226 truthG226?
17They eagerlyG2206 seekG2206 you, not 10in a commendableG2573 wayG2573, but they wantG2309 to shutG1576 you outG1576 soG2443 thatG2443 you will seekG2206 them.
