Galatians 4:11-16
English Standard Version
11 I am afraid (A)I may have labored over you in vain.
12 Brothers,[a] (B)I entreat you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. (C)You did me no wrong. 13 You know it was (D)because of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you (E)at first, 14 and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me (F)as an angel of God, (G)as Christ Jesus. 15 What then has become of your blessedness? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have gouged out your eyes and given them to me. 16 Have I then become your enemy by (H)telling you the truth?[b]
