Galatians 4:12-20 - What Happened To Your Positive Attitude?
12 Brethren, I beseech you, be ye as I am: for I am as ye are. Ye have not hurt me at all. 13 Ye know well how that through infirmity of the flesh, I preached the gospel unto you at the first. 14 And my temptation which I suffered by reason of my flesh, ye despised not, neither abhorred, but received me as an angel of God: yea as Christ Jesus.
15 How happy were ye then? For I bear you record that if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me. 16 Am I so greatly, therefore, become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? 17 They are jealous over you amiss. Yea they intend to exclude you, that ye should be fervent to them ward. 18 It is good always to be fervent, so it be in a good thing; and not only when I am present with you. 19 My little children - of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be fashioned in you - 20 I would I were with you now, and could change my voice, for I stand in a doubt of you.
