Galatians 4:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ Those people^[a] are working hard to persuade you. But this is not good for you. They want to persuade you to turn against us. They want you to follow only them. ¹⁸ It is good for people to show interest in you, but only if their purpose is good. This is always true. It is true when I am with you and when I am away. ¹⁹ My little children, again I feel pain for you as a mother feels when she gives birth. I will feel this until you truly become like Christ.
