Galatians 4:10-14

You meticulously observe days and months and seasons and years.

I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain.

I beg of you, brothers and sisters, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong;

but you know that it was because of a bodily illness that I preached the gospel to you the first time;

and you did not despise that which was a trial to you in my bodily condition, nor express contempt, but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus Himself.
