Galatians 4

1But^G1161 I say^G3004 that so long^G5550 as^G3745 the heir^G1909 is^G2076 a^G5550 child^G3516, he differeth^G1308 nothing^G3762 from^G1308 a bondservant^G1401 though^G1401 he is lord^G2962 of all^G3956; 2but^G235 is^G2076 under^G5259 guardians^G2012 and^G2532 stewards^G3623 until^G891 the day appointed^G4287 of the father^G3962. 3So^G3779 we^G2249 also, when^G3753 we^G2249 were^G1510 children^G3516, were^G1510 held in bondage^G1402 under^G5259 the rudiments^G4747 of the world^G2889: 4but^G1161 when^G3753 the fulness^G4138 of the time^G5550 came^G2064, God^G2316 sent forth^G1821 his^G846 Son^G5207, born^G1096 of^G1537 a woman^G1135, born^G1096 under^G5259 the law^G3551, 5that he might redeem^G1805 them^G3588 that were^G2443 under^G5259 the law^G3551, that^G2443 we might receive^G618 the adoption of sons^G5206. 6And^G1161 because^G3754 ye are^G2075 sons^G5207, God^G2316 sent forth^G1821 the Spirit^G4151 of his^G846 Son^G5207 into^G1519 our^G5216 hearts^G2588, crying^G2896, Abba^G5, Father^G3962. 7So^G5620 that thou art^G1488 no longer^G3765 a bondservant^G1401, but^G235 a son^G5207; and^G1161 if^G1487 a son^G5207, then^G2532 an heir^G2818 through^G1223 God^G5547. 8Howbeit^G235 at that time^G1492, not^G3756 knowing God^G2316, ye were in bondage^G1398 to them that^G3588 by nature^G5449 are^G5607 no^G3361 gods^G2316: 9but^G1161 now^G3568 that ye have come to know^G1097 God^G2316, or^G1161 rather^G3123 to be known^G1097 by^G5259 God^G2316, how^G4459 turn ye^G1994 back again^G3825 to^G1909 the weak^G772 and^G2532 beggarly^G4434 rudiments^G4747, whereunto^G3739 ye desire^G2309 to be in bondage^G1398 over^G509 again^G3825? 10Ye observe^G3906 days^G2250, and^G2532 months^G3376, and^G2532 seasons^G2540, and^G2532 years^G1763. 11I am afraid of^G5399 you^G5209, lest^G3381 by any means I have bestowed^G2872 labor^G2872 upon^G1519 you^G5209 in vain^G1500. 12I beseech^G1189 you^G5216, brethren^G80, become^G1096 as^G5613 I^G1473 am^G3754, for I^G2504 also am become as^G5613 ye^G5210 are. Ye did^G91 me^G3165 no^G3762 wrong^G91: 13but ye know^G1492 that^G3754 because^G1161 of^G1223 an infirmity^G769 of the flesh^G4561 I preached the gospel^G2097 unto you^G5213 the first^G4386 time: 14and^G2532 that^G3450 which was^G3588 a temptation^G3986 to you in^G1722 my^G3450 flesh^G4561 ye despised^G1848 not^G3756, nor^G3761 rejected^G1609; but^G235 ye received^G1209 me^G3165 as^G5613 an angel^G32 of God^G2316, even as^G5613 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424. 15Where^G5101 then^G3767 is^G2258 that^G3754 gratulation^G3108 of^G5216 yourselves? for^G1063 I bear^G3140 you^G5213 witness^G3140, that^G3754, if^G1487 possible^G1415, ye would have plucked out^G1846 your eyes^G302 and given them^G1325 to me^G3427. 16So^G5620 then am I^G1096 become^G1096 your^G5216 enemy^G2190, by telling^G226 you^G5213 the truth^G226? 17They zealously seek^G2206 you^G5209 in no^G3756 good^G2573 way; nay^G235, they desire^G2309 to shut you^G5209 out^G1576, that^G2443 ye may seek^G2206 them^G846. 18But^G1161 it is good^G2570 to be zealously sought^G2206 in^G1722 a good^G2570 matter at all times^G3842, and^G2532 not^G3361 only^G3440 when I^G1722 am present^G3918 with^G4314 you^G5209. 19My^G3450 little children^G5040, of whom^G3739 I am again^G3825 in travail^G5605 until^G891 Christ^G5547 be formed^G3445 in^G1722 you^G5213— 20but I could^G1161 wish^G2309 to be present^G3918 with^G4314 you^G5209 now^G737, and^G2532 to change^G236 my^G3450 tone^G5456; for^G3754 I am perplexed^G639 about^G1722 you^G5213. 21Tell^G3004 me^G3427, ye that^G3588 desire^G2309 to be^G1511 under^G5259 the law^G3551, do ye^G191 not^G3756 hear^G191 the law^G3551? 22For^G1063 it is written^G1125, that^G3754 Abraham^G11 had^G2192 two^G1417 sons^G5207, one^G1520 by^G1537 the handmaid^G2532, and one^G1520 by^G1537 the freewoman^G1658. 23Howbeit^G235 the son^G3588 by^G1537 the handmaid^G3814 is born^G1080 after^G2596 the flesh^G4561; but^G1161 the son^G3588 by^G1223 the freewoman^G1658 is born through^G1223 promise^G1860. 24Which things^G3748 contain^G2076 an allegory^G238: for^G1063 these^G3778 women are^G2076 two^G1417 covenants^G1242; one^G1520 from^G575 mount^G3735 Sinai^G4614, bearing^G1080 children unto^G1519 bondage^G1397, which^G3748 is^G2076 Hagar^G28. 25Now^G1063 this^G3588 Hagar^G28 is^G2076 mount^G3735 Sinai^G4614 in^G1722 Arabia^G688 and^G1161 answereth to^G4960 the Jerusalem^G2419 that^G3588 now^G3568 is^G3588: for^G1161 she is in bondage^G1398 with^G3326 her^G846 children^G5043. 26But^G1161 the Jerusalem^G2419 that is^G3588 above^G507 is^G2076 free^G1658, which^G3748 is^G2076 our^G2257 mother^G3384. 27For^G1063 it is written^G1125, Rejoice^G2165, thou barren^G4723 that^G3588 bearest^G5088 not^G3756; Break forth^G4486 and^G2532 cry^G994, thou that^G3588 travailest^G5605 not^G3756: For^G3754 more^G4183 are the children^G5043 of^G2048 the desolate than^G2228 of her that^G3588 hath^G2192 the husband^G435. 28Now^G1161 we^G2249, brethren^G80, as^G2596 Isaac was^G2464, are^G2070 children^G5043 of promise^G1860. 29But^G235 as^G5618 then^G5119 he that^G3588 was born^G1080 after^G2596 the flesh^G4561 persecuted^G1377 him^G3588 that was born after^G2596 the Spirit^G4151, so^G3779 also^G2532 it is now^G3568. 30Howbeit^G235 what^G5101 saith^G3004 the scripture^G1124? Cast out^G1544 the handmaid^G3814 and^G2532 her^G846 son^G5207: for^G1063 the son^G5207 of the handmaid^G3814 shall^G2816 not^G3756 inherit^G2816 with^G3326 the son^G5207 of the freewoman^G1658. 31Wherefore^G686, brethren^G80, we are^G2070 not^G3756 children^G5043 of a handmaid^G3814, but^G235 of the freewoman^G1658.
