“But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.”
It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always and not just when I am with you. — Paul permits zeal ('kalon zelos' — good zeal) when its purpose ('kalos' — good, noble) is Christ and truth, but criticizes the Galatians for their selective devotion to Paul's presence, suggesting their zeal is person-dependent rather than truth-rooted.
