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

¹² I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong, ¹³ but you know that because of weakness of the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time. ¹⁴ That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn't despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

¹⁵ What was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me. ¹⁶ So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth? ¹⁷ They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate you, that you may seek them. ¹⁸ But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you. ¹⁹ My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you -- ²⁰ but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
