Galatians:4:8-20
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But at that time ,
indeed ,
when ye knew not God ,
ye were in slavery to those who in their nature are not gods ;
*
but now ,
after having known God ,
or rather having been known by God ,
how is it that ye are turning back to the weak and beggarly rudiments to which ye wish to be again in bondage ?
*
Do ye observe days ,
and months ,
and times ,
and years ?
*
I fear for you ,
lest I may have bestowed upon you labor in vain .
*
Brethren ,
I beseech you ,
become as I am ,
for I also have become as ye are ;
ye injured me in nothing .
*
Nay ,
ye know that it was on account of an infirmity of the flesh that I preached the gospel to you the former time ,
*
and my trial which was in my flesh ye did not despise nor spurn ;
but received me as an angel of God ,
yea ,
as Christ Jesus .
*
How great then was your boasting of happiness !
for I bear you witness ,
that if possible ,
ye would have plucked out your eyes ,
and have given them to me .
*
So then ,
have I become your enemy because I tell you the truth ?
*
They show a zeal for you ,
but not in honesty ;
yea ,
they wish to exclude you ,
that ye may be zealous for them .
*
But it is good to be an object of zeal in what is good always ,
and not only when I am present with you .
*
My children ,
with whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you ,
*
I could wish indeed to be present with you now ,
and to change my tone ,
for I am in perplexity about you .
