Galatians 4:12-20 - What Happened To Your Positive Attitude?

¹² Become ye as, I, because, I also, was as, ye, - brethren, I entreat you. Not at all, have ye wronged me. ¹³ Howbeit ye know that, by reason of a weakness of the flesh, I myself announced the glad-message unto you, formerly; ¹⁴ And, your trial, in my flesh, ye despised not, neither spat ye in disgust , but, as a messenger of God, ye welcomed me - as Christ Jesus.

¹⁵ Where, then, is the happiness ye accounted yours? For I bear you witness - that, if possible, your eyes, ye would have dug out, and given unto me. ¹⁶ So then, your enemy, have I become, by dealing truthfully with you? ¹⁷ They shew a zeal for you, not honourably, but wish, to shut you out, in order that ye may be zealous for, them. ¹⁸ Howbeit it is, honourable, to show zeal in what is honourable at all times, and not only when I am present with you; - ¹⁹ My dear children! for whom I, again, am in birth-pains, until Christ be formed within you; - ²⁰ I could wish, however, to be present with you, even now, and to change my voice, - because I am perplexed regarding you.
