Paul tells believers that grace and law cannot work together.
# My little children
This is a metaphor for disciples or followers. AT: "You who are disciples because of me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
# I am in the pains of childbirth for you until Christ is formed in you
Paul uses childbirth as a metaphor for his concern about the Galatians. AT: "I am in pain as though I were a woman having to give birth to you, and I will continue to be in pain until Christ truly controls you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
