Galatians 4:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ You remember that it was because of an illness that I came to you the first time, preaching the ·Good News [Gospel]. ¹⁴ Though my sickness was a ·trouble for you [trial for you; or test of your concern], you did not ·hate [despise] me or ·make me leave [reject me]. Instead, you welcomed me as an angel from God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself! ¹⁵ But where is that ·joy [happiness; blessedness] you had then? I am ready to testify that you would have taken out your eyes and given them to me if that were possible.
