(KJV) Galatians 4:19
My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
THE PAINS OF CHILDBIRTH / GALATIANS 4:19
“The pains of childbirth” (Greek odino) describe the heartache, emotional pain and spiritual affection Paul feels for those Galatians who have abandoned true faith in Christ because they have followed false leaders and their teachings. He is desperately praying for those who “have been alienated from Christ” and have “fallen away from grace” (Galatians 5:4) in a useless attempt to gain salvation through following the regulations of the law. Paul’s analogy of childbirth represents the fact that these wayward individuals need a second spiritual birth (John 3:3-7), and Paul himself is suffering once more with spiritual birth pains in order that Christ might be “formed” in them through a renewed faith and relationship with God.
