scriptures paraphrased to post
🕊️a reading & study 🕊️
8 - Before, when you didn’t know God, you were in bondage to and submitted to those who by nature are not gods. 9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather - to be known by Him - how can you turn back and be slaves once again to weak, elementary principles of the world, that don’t work? 10 You (consider as demanded/required/mandatory to) observe days and months, seasons and years! 11 I’m afraid I may have labored over you in vain! 12 So I entreat you, become as I am, for I also have become as you (gentiles) are. You did me no wrong. 13 You know it was because of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you at first, 14 and though my condition was a trial to you, you didn’t scorn or despise me, but you received me as though I was a messenger of God, or even as Christ Jesus himself. 15 What then! Has become of your blessedness? For I testify that, if possible, you would have gouged out your own eyes and given them to me. 16 Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?
17 They flatter and make a big deal of you. But that’s for no good purpose. They want to shut - you - out. So you will make a bid deal of {and will follow} them.
18 It is always good to be zealous for a good purpose! And not only when I’m with you. 19 My dear children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you! 20 I wish I could be present with you now and change my tone, but I am perplexed about you!
