10. Ye observe days, and months, and seasons, and years.
11. I am afraid of you, lest by any means I have bestowed labour upon you in vain.
12. I beseech you, brethren, be as I am, for I am as ye are. Ye did me no wrong:
13. but ye know that because of an infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you the first time:
14. and that which was a temptation to you in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but ye received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
15. Where then is that gratulation of yourselves? for I bear you witness, that, if possible, ye would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.
16. So then am I become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
17. They zealously seek you in no good way; nay, they desire to shut you out, that ye may seek them.
18. But it is good to be zealously sought in a good matter at all times, and not only when I am present with you.
