Galatians 4:16-18

New International Version

¹⁶ Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?^(A)

¹⁷ Those people are zealous to win you over, but for no good. What they want is to alienate you from us, so that you may have zeal for them.^{(B) 18} It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always, not just when I am with you.^(C)
