And my trial which was in my flesh you despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
All Commentaries on Galatians 4:14 Go To Galatians 4

AD 407
What is he saying? “I was persecuted, I was flogged, I underwent many neardeaths in preaching to you, and even so you did not despise me.” For that is the meaning of “you did not scorn or despise me.” Do you perceive his spiritual understanding? For even in the course of his selfdefense he continues to exhort them anew, showing what he has suffered on their account.
