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

12 I entreat you, Brothers, to become like me, as I became like you. You have never done me any wrong. 13 You remember that it was owing to bodily infirmity that on the first occasion I told you the Good News. 14 And as for what must have tried you in my condition, it did not inspire you with scorn or disgust, but you welcomed me as if I had been an angel of God--or Christ Jesus himself!

15 What has become then, of your blessings? For I can bear witness that, had it been possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me! 16 Am I to think, then, that I have become your enemy by telling you the truth? 17 Certain people are seeking your favor, but with no honorable object. No, indeed, they want to isolate you, so that you will have to seek their favor. 18 It is always honorable to have your favor sought in an honorable cause, and not only when I am with you, my dear children-- 19 You for whom I am again enduring a mother's pains, till a likeness to Christ shall have been formed in you. 20 But I could wish to be with you now and speak in a different tone, for I am perplexed about you.
