Galatians 4:19-21

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹ My dear children, I am in pain for you like I was when we first met. I have pain like a woman giving birth. And my pain will continue until Christ makes you like himself. ²⁰ I wish I could be with you now. I wish I could change my tone of voice. As it is, I don’t understand you.

Hagar and Sarah

²¹ You who want to be under the authority of the law, tell me something. Don’t you know what the law says?
