Verse. 20. For I am troubled for you.
That is to say: I am so troubled in my spirit, that I know not how by letters to behave my self towards you. Here is a lively description of the true affections of an Apostle. He omitteth nothing: he chideth the Galatians: he entreateth them: he speaketh them fair: he highly commendeth their Faith, labouring by all means to bring them back again to the truth of the Gospel,1 and to deliver them out of the snares of the false apostles. These are vehement words, proceeding from a heart stirred up and inflamed with a hot burning zeal, and therefore ought diligently to be considered.
