Galatians 4:17-19
The Voice
17 I’ll tell you what these false brothers and sisters are counting on: your attention. They are ravenous for it. They are not acting honorably or in your best interests. They want to keep you away from the good news we proclaim so they can have you all to themselves. 18 Listen, there’s nothing wrong with zeal when you’re zealous for God’s good purpose. And what’s more, you don’t have to wait for me to be with you to seek the good. 19 My dear children, I feel the pains of birth upon me again, and I will continue in labor for you until the Anointed One is formed completely in you.

Galatians 4:17-19
New International Version
17 Those people are zealous to win you over, but for no good. What they want is to alienate you from us, so that you may have zeal for them.(A) 18 It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always, not just when I am with you.(B) 19 My dear children,(C) for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,(D)
