Galatians 4:18

18. Zealously affected Rather courted, treated with friendly zeal.

In a good thing In a right way, for a good purpose. Connect always with and not only as antithetical. I admit that the being treated with zealous attentions, if rightly done, is a good thing; and that not only when I am present with you to render them, but always, my little children, of whom I travail in birth until Christ is imaged in your characters.

It will be seen that this paraphrase connects Galatians 4:17-18, as a single sentence, as Ellicott, Lightfoot, and Wordsworth. This avoids a detachment of Galatians 4:19-20 into a separate fragment, and connects both clauses present with you in the same paragraph.
