Galatians 4:17-20

English Standard Version

¹⁷ They make much of you, but for no good purpose. They want to shut you out, that you may make much of them. ¹⁸ It is always good to be made much of for a good purpose, and ^(A)not only when I am present with you, ^19 (B)my little children, ^(C)for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ ^(D)is formed in you! ²⁰ I wish I could be present with you now and change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
