Galatians 4




updv@Galatians:4:1 @ But I say that so long as the heir is a juvenile, he differs nothing from a slave though he is lord of all;

updv@Galatians:4:2 @ but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed of the father.

updv@Galatians:4:3 @ So we also, when we were juveniles, were being made slaves under the rudiments of the world:

updv@Galatians:4:4 @ but when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

updv@Galatians:4:5 @ that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

updv@Galatians:4:6 @ And because you(note:){+}(:note) are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

updv@Galatians:4:7 @ So that you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.

updv@Galatians:4:8 @ Nevertheless at that time, not knowing God, you(note:){+}(:note) served as slaves to those that by nature are no gods:

updv@Galatians:4:9 @ but now that you(note:){+}(:note) have come to know God, and what's more, to be known by God, how do you{+} turn back again to the weak and beggarly rudiments, to which you{+} desire to serve as slaves over again?

updv@Galatians:4:10 @ You(note:){+}(:note) observe days, and months, and seasons, and years.

updv@Galatians:4:11 @ I am afraid of you(note:){+}(:note), lest by any means I have bestowed labor on you{+} for nothing.

updv@Galatians:4:12 @ I urge you(note:){+}(:note), brothers, become as I [am], for I also [have become] as you{+} [are]. You{+} did me no wrong:

updv@Galatians:4:13 @ but you(note:){+}(:note) know that because of an infirmity of the flesh I preached the good news to you{+} the first time:

updv@Galatians:4:14 @ and that which was a trial to you(note:){+}(:note) in my flesh you{+} did not despise, nor reject; but you{+} received me as an angel of God, [even] as Christ Jesus.

updv@Galatians:4:15 @ Where then is that blessedness of yours? For I bear you(note:){+}(:note) witness, that, if possible, you{+} would have plucked out your{+} eyes and given them to me.

updv@Galatians:4:16 @ So then have I become your(note:){+}(:note) enemy, by telling you{+} the truth?

updv@Galatians:4:17 @ They zealously seek you(note:){+}(:note) in no good way; no, they desire to shut you{+} out, that you{+} may seek them.

updv@Galatians:4:18 @ But it is good to be zealously sought in a good matter at all times, and not only when I am present with you(note:){+}(:note).

updv@Galatians:4:19 @ My children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you(note:){+}(:note)--

updv@Galatians:4:20 @ but I could wish to be present with you(note:){+}(:note) now, and to change my tone; for I am perplexed about you{+}.

updv@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me, you(note:){+}(:note) who desire to be under the law, don't you{+} hear the law?

updv@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman, and one by the free woman.

updv@Galatians:4:23 @ Nevertheless the [son] by the slave woman is born after the flesh; but the [son] by the free woman [is born] through promise.

updv@Galatians:4:24 @ Which things contain an allegory: for these [women] are two covenants; one from mount Sinai, bearing children to slavery, which is Hagar.

updv@Galatians:4:25 @ Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia and answers to the Jerusalem that now is: for she works as a slave along with her children.

updv@Galatians:4:26 @ But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother.

updv@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written, Rejoice, you barren that do not bear; Break forth and cry, you who do not travail: For more are the children of the desolate than of her who has the husband.

updv@Galatians:4:28 @ Now you(note:){+}(:note), brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.

updv@Galatians:4:29 @ But as then he who was born after the flesh persecuted him [that was born] after the Spirit, so also it is now.

updv@Galatians:4:30 @ Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? Cast out the slave woman and her son: for the son of the slave woman will not inherit with the son of the free woman.

updv@Galatians:4:31 @ Therefore, brothers, we are not children of a slave woman, but of the free woman.
