Galatians 4:11-20

11I am afraid of you, lest by any means I have bestowed labour upon you in vain.

12I beseech you, brethren, be as I am, for I am as ye are. Ye did me no wrong:

13but ye know that because of an infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you the first time:

14and that which was a temptation to you in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but ye received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

15Where then is that gratulation of yourselves? for I bear you witness, that, if possible, ye would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.

16So then am I become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

17They zealously seek you in no good way; nay, they desire to shut you out, that ye may seek them.

18But it is good to be zealously sought in a good matter at all times, and not only when I am present with you.

19My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you,

20yea, I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I am perplexed about you.
