10. You observe days, and months, and times, and years.
11. I am afraid for you, lest I have bestowed upon you labor in vain.
12. Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as you are: you have not injured me at all.
13. You know how through weakness of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.
14. And my trial which was in my flesh you despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
15. Where is then the blessedness you spoke of? for I bear you witness, that, if it had been possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
16. Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
17. They are zealous of you, but not for good; yea, they would exclude you, that you might be zealous of them.
18. But it is good to be zealous always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
19. My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
20. I desire to be present with you now, and to change my tone; for I stand in doubt of you.
