Galatians 4:13-15. Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first. And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
The apostle remembers how they received him at first, his gospel was to them like life from the dead; and though he was full of infirmities, -perhaps had weak eyes, - perhaps had a stammering tongue, - perhaps was at that time very much depressed in spirit, - yet, he says, "You received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. You loved me so much that, if it had been possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me."
