Galatians 4:8–20

⁸Howbeit then, ^pwhen ye knew not God, ^qye did service unto them which ^rby nature are no gods. ⁹But now, after that ye have known God, or rather ^sare known of God, ^thow turn ye ^||again to the ^uweak and beggarly ^||elements, whereunto ye desire again ^dto be in bondage? ¹⁰Ye observe ^wdays, and ^xymonths, and ^ytimes, and ^zyears. ¹¹I am afraid of you, ^alest I have ^bbestowed upon you labour ^cin vain.

¹²Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ^dye have not injured me at all. ¹³Ye know how ^ethrough infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you ^fat the first. ¹⁴And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me ^gas an angel of God, even ^has Christ Jesus. ^15||Where is then the ⁱblessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, ^jif it had been possible, ye would have ^kplucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me. ¹⁶Am I therefore become your enemy, ^lbecause I tell you the truth? ¹⁷They ^mzealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude ^||you, that ye might ^maffect them. ¹⁸But it is good ^mto be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you. ¹⁹ⁿMy little children, of whom I travail in birth again until ^oChrist be ^pformed ^oin you, ^20qI desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for ^||I ^rstand in doubt of you.
