Galatians 4:9-15

Mace(i) 9 or rather that you are favoured by him, how can ye turn again to the weak and beggarly elements of the law, to which you desire again to be in bondage? 10 observing as you do, the days, the moons, the feasts and years. 11 you make me apprehensive, that the labour I have bestowed upon you will be all in vain. 12 I beseech you, brethren, be as I am, for I was as you are. 13 It is not you that have done me any injury: tho' you knew through what infirmity of the flesh I heretofore preached the gospel to you, 14 yet you did not despise me for the trial which attended my person, nor treated me with scorn; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. 15 what benedictions did you then pour out upon me! for I bear you witness, that, had it been practicable, you would have pulled out your very eyes, and given them to me.
