Galatians 4:15-20 Where is your self-congratulation? For I can testify that you would have torn out your very eyes, if you could, and have given them to me.

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Where is your self-congratulation? For I can testify that you would have torn out your very eyes, if you could, and have given them to me. ¹⁶ Have I then turned into an enemy to you, because I tell you the truth? ¹⁷ These men are paying you special attention, but not sincerely. They want to shut you off from me, so that you may keep on paying them special attention. ¹⁸ Now it is a fine thing to have special attention paid you, if it is done sincerely and unceasingly, and not only when I am with you. ¹⁹ O my dear children, I am suffering a mother's birth pangs for you again, until Christ is formed in you. ²⁰ I wish I could be with you right now and change the tone of my speech, for I do not know which way to turn in your case.
