Galatians 4:12-20

Revised Geneva Translation

¹² Be as me, brothers, I beg you (for I am also like you). You have not hurt me at all.

¹³ And you know how through weakness of the flesh I preached the Gospel to you at first.

¹⁴ And your trial from me (which was in my flesh) you neither despised nor abhorred. But you received me as an angel of God; indeed, as Christ Jesus.

¹⁵ Where then is your felicity? For I bear witness that if it had been possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes and have given them to me.

¹⁶ Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?

¹⁷ They are wrongly jealous for you. Yea, they would separate you from us, so that you would be jealous for them.

¹⁸ But it is a good thing to always love earnestly in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you,

¹⁹ my little children with whom I travail in birth again, until Christ is formed in you.

²⁰ And I would that I were with you now, so I might change my voice. For I am in doubt of you.
