Galatians 4:17

Those people are zealous for you, but not in a good way. Instead, they want to isolate you from us, so that you may be zealous for them.

(17) They are jealous of you, not for good, but rather to shut you out so that you will be zealous for them.

[17] Those false teachers are zealously courting you, but not for your benefit. They want to isolate you from us so you'll become devoted to them instead.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
they are zealous for you—yet not well, but they wish to shut us out, that for them ye may be zealous;
