I desire to be present with you now, and to change my tone; for I stand in doubt of you.
All Commentaries on Galatians 4:20 Go To Galatians 4
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Let me show you how impatient, how incensed he is, how he cannot bear these things. For such is love: it is not content with words but seeks also to be personally present. “To change my tone,” he says, that is, to cry out and to make mournful noise and tears and to turn everything into lamentation. For in a letter it was not possible to show his tears and mourning.
