King James Bible
"Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?"
Paul expresses hurt and bewilderment that the Galatians now view him with hostility. This rhetorical question reveals the painful irony that his pastoral care has somehow turned them against him, reflecting the relational cost of confronting error. The apostle identifies truth-telling as the sole cause of their animosity, highlighting how the Galatians have been swayed by false teachers to reject the gospel of grace. This phrase underscores that speaking biblical truth, though necessary, can strain relationships when hearers prefer comfortable lies.
