Galatians 4:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ It is good to be made much of for a good purpose at all times, and not just when I am in your presence. ¹⁹ You are my children, and I am experiencing the pain of giving birth to you all over again, until Christ is formed in you. ²⁰ I truly wish that I could be with you now and be able to alter my approach to you, because I do not know what to think about you.
