"Where then is your sense of happiness now? For I testify about you that if it were possible, you would have pulled out your eyes and given them to me!"
— Galatians 4:15, NET Bible
“Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.”
“Where then is that gratulation of yourselves? for I bear you witness, that, if possible, ye would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me. ”
“What was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.”
“Where is then your blessedness? For I bear you witness that, if it could be done, you would have plucked out your own eyes and would have given them to me.”
“Where then is that happy condition of yours? because I give you witness, that, if possible, you would have taken out your eyes and given them to me.”
“Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.”
I beg you, brothers and sisters, become like me, because I have become like you. You have done me no wrong!
Personal Appeal of Paul But you know it was because of a physical illness that I first proclaimed the gospel to you,
and though my physical condition put you to the test, you did not despise or reject me. Instead, you welcomed me as though I were an angel of God, as though I were Christ Jesus himself!
Where then is your sense of happiness now? For I testify about you that if it were possible, you would have pulled out your eyes and given them to me!
So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
They court you eagerly, but for no good purpose; they want to exclude you, so that you would seek them eagerly.
However, it is good to be sought eagerly for a good purpose at all times, and not only when I am present with you.
