Galatians 4:11 Context
9But now after that yee haue knowen God, or rather are knowen of God, how turne ye againe to the weak and beggerly Elements, whereunto ye desire againe to be in bondage? 10Yee obserue dayes, and moneths, and times, and yeeres. 11I am afraide of you, lest I haue bestowed vpon you labour in vaine. 12Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are, ye haue not iniured me at all. 13Ye know how through infirmitie of the flesh, I preached the Gospel vnto you at the first.
