Matthew Poole and continuators on Galatians 4:12

12 Brethren, I beseech you be as I am, for I am as ye are , you have not injured me at all .

Be as friendly to me as I am to you, (see the like phrase, 1 Kings 22.4.)

But how doth the Apostle say they had not injured him at all? When it is manifest they had defamed him. Answ. He had forgiven, or was ready to forgive this to them; he had no desire or design to be reveng'd on them, Or in this particular thing of Iudaizing, for which he had been [illegible: 1 letter]eflecting upon them, they had done him no personal injury, it was only his care for, and love to their Souls, which had drawn out this discourse from him; not any particular prejudice to them, or any desire he had to take any revenge upon them, for any personal injury done to himself.
