14 Though my infirmity was a trial to you, you neither despised nor rejected me, but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
15 So where is your blessing? For I bear witness of you that, if it had been possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me.
16 Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?
17 They would zealously influence you, but not favorably. Yes, they would exclusively control you, so that you might consult them.
18 But it is good to be zealous in a good manner always and not only when I am present with you.
19 My little children, of whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you,
20 I desire to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am displeased with you.
