* Howbeit then , when ye knew not God , ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods . * But now , after that ye have known God , or rather are known of God , how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements , whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage ? * Ye observe days , and months , and times , and years . * I am afraid of you , lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain . * Brethren , I beseech you , be as I am ; for I am as ye are : ye have not injured me at all . * Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first . * And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not , nor rejected ; but received me as an angel of God , even as Christ Jesus . * Where is then the blessedness ye spake of ? for I bear you record , that , if it had been possible , ye would have plucked out your own eyes , and have given them to me . * Am I therefore become your enemy , because I tell you the truth ? * They zealously affect you , but not well ; yea , they would exclude you , that ye might affect them . * But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing , and not only when I am present with you . * My little children , of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you , * I desire to be present with you now , and to change my voice ; for I stand in doubt of you .
