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

¹² Do take my line, brothers, I beg of you ??just as I once took yours. I have no complaint against you; ¹³ no, although it was because of an illness (you know) that I preached the gospel to you on my former visit, ¹⁴ and though my flesh was a trial to you, you did not scoff at me nor spurn me, you welcomed me like an angel of God, like Christ Jesus. You congratulated yourselves.

¹⁵ Now, what has become of all that? (I can bear witness that you would have torn out your very eyes, if you could, and given me them.) ¹⁶ Am I your enemy to-day, because I have been honest with you? ¹⁷ These men make much of you ??yes, but for dishonest ends; they want to debar you from us, so that you may make much of them. ¹⁸ Now it is fine for you to be made much of honestly and all the time ??not simply when I can be with you. ¹⁹ O my dear children, you with whom I am in travail over again till Christ be formed within you, ²⁰ would that I could be with you at this moment, and alter my tone, for I am at my wits' end about you!
