Galatians 4:18

18It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always, not just when I am with you.

18But it is good always to be eagerly sought in a commendable way, and not only when I am present with you.

18But it is good always to be eagerly sought in a commendable manner, and not only when I am present with you.

18Now it is always pleasant to be eagerly sought after [provided that it is] for a good purpose, and not just when I am with you [seeking you myself—but beware of the others doing it].

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

18It is fine to be committed to something, if the purpose is good. And you shouldn’t be committed only when I am with you. You should always be committed.
