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

12 Take my position, I beg you, brothers, just as I once took yours! You took no advantage of me then; 13 though you know that it was because of an illness that I preached the good news to you that first time; 14 and yet what must have tried you in my physical condition, you did not scorn and despise, but you welcomed me like an angel of God, like Christ Jesus himself.

15 What has become of that satisfaction of yours? For I can bear witness that you would have torn out your very eyes, if you could, and given them to me! 16 Have I turned into an enemy to you, by telling you the truth? 17 These men are making much of you, but not with honorable intentions. They want to shut you out, so that you will have to make much of them. 18 But it is a finer thing to be made much of honestly and constantly??ot just when I can be with you, 19 my children??ou for whom I am enduring a mother's pains again, until Christ is formed in you. 20 I wish I could be with you now, and use a different tone with you, for I do not know which way to turn about you.
