tcent - Galatians:4:8-20

tcent@Galatians:4:8 @ Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods.

tcent@Galatians:4:9 @ But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things? Do you desire to be enslaved all over again?

tcent@Galatians:4:10 @ You observe days and months and seasons and years!

tcent@Galatians:4:11 @ I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain.

tcent@Galatians:4:12 @ Brethren, I beg you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong;

tcent@Galatians:4:13 @ you know it was because of an illness in the flesh that I preached the gospel to you at first;

tcent@Galatians:4:14 @ and though my fleshly condition was a trial to you, you did not despise or scorn me, but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus himself.

tcent@Galatians:4:15 @ What has become of the satisfaction you felt? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.

tcent@Galatians:4:16 @ Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?

tcent@Galatians:4:17 @ They seek you, but for no good purpose; they want to shut you out, so that you may seek them.

tcent@Galatians:4:18 @ But it is always good to seek a good purpose, and not only when I am present with you.

tcent@Galatians:4:19 @ My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you

tcent@Galatians:4:20 @ I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
