Galatians 4:12

Galatians 4:12

10 ^aYou observe days and months and seasons and years.

11 I am afraid for you, ^alest I have labored for you in vain.

12 Brethren, I urge you to become like me, for I became like you. ^aYou have not injured me at all.

13 You know that ^abecause of physical infirmity I preached the gospel to you at the first.

14 And my trial which was in my flesh you did not despise or reject, but you received me ^aas an angel of God, ^beven as Christ Jesus.

15 ¹What then was the blessing you enjoyed? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me.

16 Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?

17 They ^azealously court you, but for no good; yes, they want to exclude you, that you may be zealous for them.

<< Galatians 4:11

Galatians 4:13 >>

Galatians 4:12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I [am]. Literally, "Become as I am". Come to my ground. For I [am] as ye [are]. Rather, I become as ye are. I gave up my bondage to Judaism, the religion of my fathers, and made myself as a Gentile to Gentiles. Ye have not injured me at all. My complaint against you is not on personal grounds. You have not wronged me.
