My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
All Commentaries on Galatians 4:19 Go To Galatians 4
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Do you see his parental compassion? Do you see the anguish that is fitting for an apostle? Do you see how he has lamented more bitterly than women giving birth? “You have ruined the image of God,” he is saying. “You have lost the kinship, you have exchanged the likeness. You need a rebirth and a reformation. Yet nonetheless I still call the miscarriages and the abortions my children.”
