Galatians 4:19

Read in context

Galatians 4:17–21 · Berean Standard Bible

17 Those people are zealous for you, but not in a good way. Instead, they want to isolate you from us, so that you may be zealous for them.

18 Nevertheless, it is good to be zealous if it serves a noble purpose—at any time, and not only when I am with you.

19 My children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,

20 how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you.

21 Tell me, you who want to be under the law, do you not understand what the law says?
