Galatians 4:20
Galatians 4:20 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)
I wish I could be present with you now and change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
Galatians 4:18-20 The Message (MSG)
It is a good thing to be passionate in doing good, but not just when I am in your presence. Can’t you continue the same concern for both my person and my message when I am away from you that you had when I was with you? Do you know how I feel right now, and will feel until Christ’s life becomes visible in your lives? Like a mother in the pain of childbirth. Oh, I keep wishing that I was with you. Then I wouldn’t be reduced to this blunt, letter-writing language out of sheer frustration.
