Galatians 4:19

Jesus
Following JesusNew life and rebirthJesus ChristParents and children

17 Those people are zealous for you, but not in a good way. Instead, they want to isolate you from us, so that you may be zealous for them.

18 Nevertheless, it is good to be zealous if it serves a noble purpose—at any time, and not only when I am with you.

My children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,

20 how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you.

21 Tell me, you who want to be under the law, do you not understand what the law says?

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
