Reading for January 20th

Read Galatians 4.20-20
In verses 12-20: Paul recalls his founding visit.
In verse 12: Paul's meaning is not clear.
Perhaps, "Come back over to me, just as I once came to you."
In verses 13-15: His much discussed physical infirmity is not known.
His reference to eyes may be a figure of speech expressing their generosity rather than an allusion to some health problem (v. 15; 2 Cor 12.7-8).
In verse 16: This recalls his blunt speech (1.6-9; 3.1-5).
In verse 17: The false teachers of 1.7 are in mind.
Exclude you: they are charged with trying to cut the Galatians off from Paul, or possibly from Christ.
In verses 19-20: Paul is now the anxious mother fretting over her children (1 Thee 2.7).
