They are zealous of you, but not for good; yea, they would exclude you, that you might be zealous of them.
All Commentaries on Galatians 4:17 Go To Galatians 4
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
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 St. 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, I am perplexed, as the Greek signifies, as not knowing what to say or do. (Witham)
