Galatians 4:16-18
Worldwide English (New Testament)
16 Do you hate me because I tell you the truth?
17 Other people are trying hard to get you on their side. But they do not mean to help you. They want to get you away from Christ so that you will listen to them.
18 Of course, it is good if someone tries to help you, but only if it is for a good reason. It is always good, not only when I am with you.

Galatians 4:16-18
New International Version
16 Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?(A)
17 Those people are zealous to win you over, but for no good. What they want is to alienate you from us, so that you may have zeal for them.(B) 18 It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always, not just when I am with you.(C)
Galatians 4:16-18
King James Version
16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
17 They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.
18 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
