Labor or Childbirth: Is the word "labor" here, referring to work, or the pain of "childbirth"? [Galatians 4:19]. New Believers or Apostate? Do you think Paul is talking to potentially new believers or just those that need to be brought back to Christ? [Galatians 4:19, Galatians 5:4, 2 Corinthians 3:18].
