Galatians 4:9-15

CLV(i) 9 Yet now, knowing God, yet rather being known by God, how are you turning back again to the infirm and poor elements for which you want to slave again anew? 10 Days are you scrutinizing, and months and seasons and years." 11 I fear for you, lest somehow I have toiled for you feignedly." 12 Become as I, for I am even as you, brethren, I beseech you. In nothing do you injure me." 13 Now you are aware that during an infirmity of the flesh I bring the evangel to you formerly. 14 And your trial, in my flesh, you do not scorn, neither do you loathe it, but as a messenger of God you receive me, as Christ Jesus." 15 Where, then, is your happiness? For I am testifying to you, that, if possible, gouging out your eyes, you would give them to me."
