Galatians 4:12-14

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹² Brethren, I beg of you, become as I am [free from the bondage of Jewish ritualism and ordinances], for I also have become as you are [^[a]a Gentile]. You did me no wrong [^[b]in the days when I first came to you; do not do it now].

¹³ On the contrary, you know that it was on account of a bodily ailment that [I remained and] preached the Gospel to you the first time.

¹⁴ And [yet] although my physical condition was [such] a trial to you, you did not regard it with contempt, or scorn and loathe and reject me; but you received me as an angel of God, [even] as Christ Jesus [Himself]!
