Galatians 4:13–20

Verse 13–16. Through infirmity of the flesh … and your temptation in my flesh. S. Jerom thinks the apostle had some bodily infirmity upon him. Saint John Chrysostom understands his poverty, and want, and persecutions, and that some were inclined to contemn him and his preaching on these accounts. Yet others among them did not esteem him less: they received him, respected him as an Angel of God, as Christ Jesus; they would have given him their eyes, as one may say, and all that was dear to them. He puts them in mind how happy then they thought themselves, and asketh why they are now so much changed? Witham.

Verse 17–20. He tells them this change comes from the false teachers among them, who with a false zeal would exclude them from a friendship and a submission to Saint Paul, and deprive them again of that Christian liberty by which Christ, and the faith of Christ, had freed them from the yoke of the Mosaical law. On this account I must labor and travail, as it were to bring you forth a second time. How do I now wish to be with you, to change my voice, to exhort you, to reprehend you, to use all ways and means to regain you to Christ?—I am in confusion about you, [2] I am perplexed, as the Greek signifies, as not knowing what to say or do. Witham.
