King James Version
"They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them."
— Galatians 4:17, King James Version
“They zealously seek you in no good way; nay, they desire to shut you out, that ye may seek them. ”
“They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate you, that you may seek them.”
“They court you eagerly, but for no good purpose; they want to exclude you, so that you would seek them eagerly.”
“They are zealous in your regard not well: but they would exclude you, that you might be zealous for them.”
“Their interest in you is not good; but their desire is that you may be shut out, so that you may go after them.”
“They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.”
And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
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.
Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.
But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
