* But then , indeed , not knowing God , you served as slaves to the ones not by nature being gods . * But now , knowing God , but rather being known by God , how do you turn again to the weak and poor elements to which you desire again to slave anew ? * You observe days and months and seasons and years . * I fear for you , lest somehow I have labored among you in vain . * Brothers , I beg of you , be as I am , because I am as you . You wronged me in nothing . * But you know that because of weakness of the flesh , I announced the gospel to you before ; * and you did not despise my temptation in my flesh nor disdained it , but you received me as an angel of God , as Christ Jesus . * What then was your blessedness ? For I testify to you that if you were able , plucking out your eyes , you would have given them to me . * So then did I become your enemy speaking truth to you ? * They are zealous for you , but not well ; but they only desire to shut you out , that you be zealous to them . * But it is good to be zealous always in a good thing and not only in my being present with you . * My children , for whom I again travail until Christ should be formed to you , * even now I desired to be present with you and to change my voice , for I am in doubt as to you .
