Galatians 4:19 read as the moment Paul stops seeing Christ as a person. Neville sets it beside 2 Corinthians 5:16 - from now on I regard no one from the human point of view; even though I once regarded Christ from the human point of view, I regard him thus no longer - and treats the two verses as a sequence: Paul saw him once as a man and no longer does, and then writes of being in labour a second time until Christ be formed in his little children. Now he sees the mystery; now he sees who Christ really is. The formation is literal and personal - Christ is being formed in you as you, and all of you have to give birth to Christ - and it is joined to Galatians 3:16, that the offspring is one and that offspring is Christ. The verse also supplies the teacher's position in the work: the one who teaches is in travail, a second time, over people who are themselves the pregnancy. About fifteen lectures.
