People's Bible Notes for Galatians 4:12


Ga 4:12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I [am]. Literally, "Become as I am". Come to my ground. For I [am] as ye [are]. Rather, I become as ye are. I gave up my bondage to Judaism, the religion of my fathers, and made myself as a Gentile to Gentiles. Ye have not injured me at all. My complaint against you is not on personal grounds. You have not wronged me.
