Galatians 4
|
- 4:1
Now I
say, That the
heir, as long
as
*
he
is a
child,
differeth
nothing from a
servant, though he
be
lord of
all;
|
- 4:2
But
is
under
tutors
and
governors
until the time
appointed of the
father.
|
- 4:3
Even
so
we,
when we
were
children,
were in
bondage
under the
elements of the
world:
|
- 4:4
But
when the
fulness of the
time was
come,
God sent
forth
his
Son,
made
of a
woman,
made
under the
law,
|
- 4:5
To
redeem them that were
under the
law,
that we might
receive the adoption of
sons.
|
- 4:6
And
because ye
are
sons,
God hath sent
forth the
Spirit of
his
Son
into
your
hearts,
crying,
Abba,
Father.
|
- 4:7
Wherefore thou
art no
more a
servant,
but a
son;
and
if a
son,
then an
heir of
God
through
Christ.
|
- 4:8
Howbeit
then
*, when ye
knew
not
God, ye did
service unto them which by
nature
are
no
gods.
|
- 4:9
But
now, after that ye have
known
God,
or
rather are
known
of
God,
how turn
ye
again
to the
weak
and
beggarly
elements,
whereunto ye
desire
again
to be in
bondage ?
|
- 4:10 Ye
observe
days,
and
months,
and
times,
and
years.
|
- 4:11 I am
afraid of
you,
lest
I have
bestowed
upon
you
labour in
vain.
|
- 4:12
Brethren, I
beseech
you,
be
as
I am;
for
I am
as
ye are: ye have not
injured
me at
all.
|
- 4:13
Ye
know
how
through
infirmity of the
flesh I preached the
gospel unto
you at the
first.
|
- 4:14
And
my
temptation which was
in
my
flesh ye
despised
not,
nor
rejected;
but
received
me
as an
angel of
God, even
as
Christ
Jesus.
|
- 4:15
Where
is
then the
blessedness
ye spake of?
for I
bear
you
record,
that,
if it had been
possible, ye would have plucked
out
your own
eyes, and have given
them
* to
me.
|
- 4:16 Am
I
therefore
become
your
enemy, because I
tell
you the
truth ?
|
- 4:17 They zealously
affect
you, but
not
well;
yea, they
would
exclude
you,
that ye might
affect
them.
|
- 4:18
But it is
good to be zealously
affected
always
in a
good thing,
and
not
only
when
I am
present
with
you.
|
- 4:19
My little
children, of
whom I travail in
birth
again
until
*
Christ be
formed
in
you,
|
- 4:20
I
desire to be
present
with
you
now,
and to
change
my
voice;
for I stand in
doubt
of
you.
|
- 4:21
Tell
me, ye that
desire to
be
under the
law, do
ye
not
hear the
law?
|
- 4:22
For it is
written,
that
Abraham
had
two
sons, the
one
by a
bondmaid
*, the
other
by a
freewoman.
|
- 4:23
But
he who was
of the
bondwoman was
born
after the
flesh;
but he
of the
freewoman was
by
promise.
|
- 4:24 Which
things
are an
allegory:
for
these
are the
two
covenants; the
one
*
from the
mount
Sinai, which
gendereth
to
bondage,
which
is
Agar.
|
- 4:25
For this
Agar
is
mount
Sinai
in
Arabia,
and
answereth to
Jerusalem
which now
is,
and is in
bondage
with
her
children.
|
- 4:26
But
Jerusalem which is
above
is
free,
which
is the
mother of
us
all.
|
- 4:27
For it is
written,
Rejoice, thou
barren that
bearest
not; break
forth
and
cry, thou that
travailest
not:
for the
desolate hath many
more
children
than
she which
hath an
husband.
|
- 4:28
Now
we,
brethren,
as
Isaac
was,
are the
children of
promise.
|
- 4:29
But
as
then he that was
born
after the
flesh
persecuted him that was born
after the
Spirit,
even
so it is
now.
|
- 4:30
Nevertheless
what
saith the
scripture? Cast
out the
bondwoman
and
her
son:
for the
son of the
bondwoman
shall
not be
heir
with the
son of the
freewoman.
|
- 4:31 So
then,
brethren, we
are
not
children of the
bondwoman,
but of the
free.
