Galatians 4:12 - Compare All Versions

Share

My dear friends, what I would really like you to do is try to put yourselves in my shoes to the same extent that I, when I was with you, put myself in yours. You were very sensitive and kind then. You did not come down on me personally. You were well aware that the reason I ended up preaching to you was that I was physically broken, and so, prevented from continuing my journey, I was forced to stop with you. That is how I came to preach to you.

Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all.

I beg of you, brethren, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong

Brothers and sisters, I became like you, so I beg you to become like me. You were very good to me before.

I beseech you, brethren, become as I am, for I also am become as ye are. Ye did me no wrong

I plead with you, brothers and sisters, become like me, for I became like you. You did me no wrong.

Brethren, I urge you to become like me, for I became like you. You have not injured me at all.

Believers, I beg of you, become as I am [free from the bondage of Jewish ritualism and ordinances], for I have become as you are [a Gentile]. You did me no wrong [when I first came to you; do not do it now].

Dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to live as I do in freedom from these things, for I have become like you Gentiles—free from those laws. You did not mistreat me when I first preached to you.

Beloved ones, I plead with you, brothers and sisters, become like me, for I became like you. You did me no wrong.

Brothers, I entreat you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong.
