Galatians 4:15-18
4:15 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!
4:16 So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
4:17 They court you eagerly, but for no good purpose; they want to exclude you, so that you would seek them eagerly.
4:18 However, it is good to be sought eagerly for a good purpose at all times, and not only when I am present with you.
