Galatians 4:12-17

12Brethren, I beseech you, be as Iam ; for I am as ye are : ye have not injured me at all. 13Ye know that in infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel to you at the first. 14And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. 15What then was the blessedness ye spoke of? for I bear you witness, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.1 16Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

17They zealously seek you, butnot for good; for, they would exclude you, that ye may seek them.2
