Galatians 4
ylt@Galatians:4:1 @And I say, so long time as the heir is a babe, he differeth nothing from a servant -- being lord of all,
ylt@Galatians:4:2 @but is under tutors and stewards till the time appointed of the father,
ylt@Galatians:4:3 @so also we, when we were babes, under the elements of the world were in servitude,
ylt@Galatians:4:4 @and when the fulness of time did come, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law,
ylt@Galatians:4:5 @that those under law he may redeem, that the adoption of sons we may receive;
ylt@Galatians:4:6 @and because ye are sons, God did send forth the spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, 'Abba, Father!'
ylt@Galatians:4:7 @so that thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.
ylt@Galatians:4:8 @But then, indeed, not having known God, ye were in servitude to those not by nature gods,
ylt@Galatians:4:9 @and now, having known God -- and rather being known by God -- how turn ye again unto the weak and poor elements to which anew ye desire to be in servitude?
ylt@Galatians:4:10 @days ye observe, and months, and times, and years!
ylt@Galatians:4:11 @I am afraid of you, lest in vain I did labour toward you.
ylt@Galatians:4:12 @Become as I [am] -- because I also [am] as ye brethren, I beseech you; to me ye did no hurt,
ylt@Galatians:4:13 @and ye have known that through infirmity of the flesh I did proclaim good news to you at the first,
ylt@Galatians:4:14 @and my trial that [is] in my flesh ye did not despise nor reject, but as a messenger of God ye did receive me -- as Christ Jesus;
ylt@Galatians:4:15 @what then was your happiness? for I testify to you, that if possible, your eyes having plucked out, ye would have given to me;
ylt@Galatians:4:16 @so that your enemy have I become, being true to you?
ylt@Galatians:4:17 @they are zealous for you -- [yet] not well, but they wish to shut us out, that for them ye may be zealous;
ylt@Galatians:4:18 @and [it is] good to be zealously regarded, in what is good, at all times, and not only in my being present with you;
ylt@Galatians:4:19 @my little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you,
ylt@Galatians:4:20 @and I was wishing to be present with you now, and to change my voice, because I am in doubt about you.
ylt@Galatians:4:21 @Tell me, ye who are willing to be under law, the law do ye not hear?
ylt@Galatians:4:22 @for it hath been written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the maid-servant, and one by the free-woman,
ylt@Galatians:4:23 @but he who [is] of the maid-servant, according to flesh hath been, and he who [is] of the free-woman, through the promise;
ylt@Galatians:4:24 @which things are allegorized, for these are the two covenants: one, indeed, from mount Sinai, to servitude bringing forth, which is Hagar;
ylt@Galatians:4:25 @for this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and doth correspond to the Jerusalem that now [is], and is in servitude with her children,
ylt@Galatians:4:26 @and the Jerusalem above is the free-woman, which is mother of us all,
ylt@Galatians:4:27 @for it hath been written, 'Rejoice, O barren, who art not bearing; break forth and cry, thou who art not travailing, because many [are] the children of the desolate -- more than of her having the husband.'
ylt@Galatians:4:28 @And we, brethren, as Isaac, are children of promise,
ylt@Galatians:4:29 @but as then he who was born according to the flesh did persecute him according to the spirit, so also now;
ylt@Galatians:4:30 @but what saith the Writing? 'Cast forth the maid-servant and her son, for the son of the maid-servant may not be heir with the son of the free-woman;'
ylt@Galatians:4:31 @then, brethren, we are not a maid-servant's children, but the free-woman's.
