THE APOSTLE’S JOY IN SUPPORT AND OPPOSITION

Beloved, you are acting faithfully in what you are providing for the brothers, and especially when they are strangers;
and they have testified before the church of your love and friendship. You will do well to [assist them and] send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.

PAUL’S CONCERN FOR THE GALATIANS

So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
These men [the Judaizers] eagerly seek you [to entrap you with honeyed words and attention, to win you over to their philosophy], not honorably [for their purpose is not honorable or worthy of consideration]. They want to isolate you [from us who oppose them] so that you will seek them.
