14And you did not have a poor opinion of me because of the trouble in my flesh, or put shame on it; but you took me to your hearts as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
15Where then is that happy condition of yours? because I give you witness, that, if possible, you would have taken out your eyes and given them to me.
16So then am I no longer your friend, because I give you true words?
17Their interest in you is not good; but their desire is that you may be shut out, so that you may go after them.
18But it is good to have an interest in a good cause at all times, and not only when I am present with you.
19My children, of whom I am again in birth-pains till Christ is formed in you,
20Truly my desire is to be present with you now, using a changed voice; for I am troubled about you.
