Galatians 4:13-15

Contemporary English Version

¹³when I first preached to you? No you didn't, even though you knew I had come there because I was sick. ¹⁴My illness must have caused you some trouble, but you didn't hate me or turn me away because of it. You welcomed me as though I were one of God's angels or even Christ Jesus himself. ¹⁵Where is that good feeling now? I am sure if it had been possible, you would have taken out your own eyes and given them to me.

I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.

¹⁴And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
