Galatians 4:13-15
International Standard Version
13 You know that it was because I was ill[a] that I brought you the gospel the first time. 14 Even though my condition put you to the test, you did not despise or reject me. On the contrary, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, or as if I were the Messiah[b] Jesus. 15 What, then, happened to your positive attitude?[c] For I testify that if it had been possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.

Galatians 4:13-15
New International Version
13 As you know, it was because of an illness(A) that I first preached the gospel to you, 14 and even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself.(B) 15 Where, then, is your blessing of me now? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.
