Galatians - Chapter: 4


4:1	Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a servant, though he is master of all,
4:2	but is under instructors and stewards until the time appointed by 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 fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
4:5	to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
4:6	And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, "Abba, Father!"
4:7	Therefore you are no longer a servant but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
4:8	But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not gods.
4:9	But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?
4:10	You observe days and months and seasons and years.
4:11	I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain.
4:12	Brethren, I urge you to be as I am, because I am as you are. You have not injured me at all.
4:13	You know that because of physical weakness I preached the gospel to you at the first.
4:14	And my trial which was in my flesh you did not despise or reject, but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
4:15	What then was the blessing you spoke of? Because, I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me.
4:16	Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?
4:17	They are zealous for you, but for no good; yes, they want to exclude you, that you may be zealous for them.
4:18	But it is good to be zealous in a good thing always, and not only when I am present with you.
4:19	My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you,
4:20	I desire to be present with you now and to change my tone; because I stand in doubt concerning you.
4:21	Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law?
4:22	Because, it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman.
4:23	But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman was by promise,
4:24	which things are an allegory. Because, these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar.
4:25	Because, this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
4:26	But the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.
4:27	Because, it is written: "Rejoice, you barren, you who do not bear! Break forth and cry, you who are not in labor! Because, the desolate has many more children than she who has a husband."
4:28	Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
4:29	But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.
4:30	Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? "Cast out the bondwoman and her son, because, the son of the bondwoman will 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.


4:1	Then I say, that the heire as long as hee is a childe, differeth nothing from a seruant, though he be Lord of all,
4:2	But is vnder tutours and gouernours, vntil the time appointed of the Father.
4:3	Euen so, we when wee were children, were in bondage vnder the rudiments of the world.
4:4	But when the fulnesse of time was come, God sent forth his Sonne made of a woman, and made vnder the Lawe,
4:5	That hee might redeeme them which were vnder the Law, that we might receiue the adoption of the sonnes.
4:6	And because ye are sonnes, God hath sent foorth the Spirit of his Sonne into your heartes, which crieth, Abba, Father.
4:7	Wherefore, thou art no more a seruant, but a sonne: now if thou be a sone, thou art also the heire of God through Christ.
4:8	But euen then, when ye knewe not God, yee did seruice vnto them, which by nature are not gods:
4:9	But now seeing ye knowe God, yea, rather are knowen of God, howe turne ye againe vnto impotent and beggerly rudiments, whereunto as from the beginning ye wil be in bondage againe?
4:10	Ye obserue dayes, and moneths, and times and yeeres.
4:11	I am in feare of you, lest I haue bestowed on you labour in vaine.
4:12	Be ye as I (for I am euen as you) brethren, I beseech you: ye haue not hurt me at all.
4:13	And ye know, how through infirmitie of the flesh, I preached ye Gospel vnto you at the first.
4:14	And the trial of me which was in my flesh, ye despised not, neither abhorred: but ye receiued me as an Angel of God, yea, as Christ Iesus.
4:15	What was then your felicitie? for I beare you recorde, that if it had bene possible, ye would haue plucked out your owne eyes, and haue giuen them vnto me.
4:16	Am I therefore become your enemie, because I tell you the trueth?
4:17	They are ielous ouer you amisse: yea, they woulde exclude you, that ye shoulde altogether loue them.
4:18	But it is a good thing to loue earnestly alwayes in a good thing, and not onely when I am present with you,
4:19	My litle children, of whome I trauaile in birth againe, vntill Christ be formed in you.
4:20	And I would I were with you nowe, that I might change my voyce: for I am in doubt of you.
4:21	Tell me, ye that will be vnder the Law, doe ye not heare the Lawe?
4:22	For it is written, that Abraham had two sonnes, one by a seruant, and one by a free woman.
4:23	But he which was of the seruant, was borne after the flesh: and he which was of the free woman, was borne by promise.
4:24	By the which things another thing is meant: for these mothers are the two testaments, the one which is Agar of mount Sina, which gendreth vnto bondage.
4:25	(For Agar or Sina is a mountaine in Arabia, and it answereth to Hierusalem which nowe is) and she is in bondage with her children.
4:26	But Hierusalem, which is aboue, is free: which is the mother of vs all.
4:27	For it is written, Reioyce thou barren that bearest no children: breake forth, and cry, thou that trauailest not: for the desolate hath many moe children, then she which hath an husband.
4:28	Therefore, brethren, wee are after the maner of Isaac, children of the promise.
4:29	But as then hee that was borne after the flesh, persecuted him that was borne after the Spirit, euen so it is nowe.
4:30	But what sayth the Scripture? Put out the seruant and her sonne: for the sonne of the seruant shall not be heire with the sonne of the free woman.
4:31	Then brethren, we are not children of the seruant, but of the free woman.


4:1	And I saye that the heyre as longe as he is a chylde differth not from a servaunt though he be Lorde of all
4:2	but is vnder tuters and governers vntill the tyme appoynted of the father.
4:3	Even so we as longe as we were chyldren were in bondage vnder the ordinaunces of the worlde.
4:4	But when the tyme was full come God sent his sonne borne of a woman and made bonde vnto ye lawe
4:5	to redeme the which were vnder the lawe: yt we thorow eleccion myght receave the inheritauce yt belongeth vnto the naturall sonnes.
4:6	Be cause ye are sonnes God hath sent the sprete of his sonne in to oure hertes which cryeth Abba father.
4:7	Wherfore now thou art not a servaunt but a sonne. Yf thou be ye sonne thou arte also the heyre of God thorow Christ.
4:8	Notwithstondinge whe ye knewe not God ye dyd service vnto them which by nature were no goddes.
4:9	But now seinge ye knowe god (yee rather are knowe of God) how is it that ye tourne agayne vnto the weake and bedgarly cerimonies whervnto agayne ye desyre afresshe to be in bondage?
4:10	Ye observe dayes and monethes and tymes and yeares.
4:11	I am in feare of you lest I have bestowed on you laboure in vayne.
4:12	Brethern I besech you be ye as I am: for I am as ye are. Ye have not hurte me at all.
4:13	Ye knowe how thorow infirmite of the flesshe I preached the gospell vnto you at the fyrst.
4:14	And my temptacion which I suffered by reason of my flesshe ye despysed not nether abhorred: but receaved me as an angell of god: ye as Christ Iesus.
4:15	How happy were ye then? for I beare you recorde that yf it had bene possible ye wolde have plucked out youre awne eyes and have geven them to me.
4:16	Am I therfore become youre enemie because I tell you the truth?
4:17	They are gelous over you amysse. Ye they intede to exclude you that ye shuld be feruet to them warde.
4:18	It is good alwayes to be fervent so it be in a good thinge and not only whe I am present with you.
4:19	My littel children (of whom I travayle in birth againe vntill Christ be fassioned in you)
4:20	I wolde I were with you now and coulde chaunge my voyce: for I stonde in a doute of you
4:21	Tell me ye that desyre to be vnder the lawe have ye not hearde of the lawe?
4:22	For it is written that Abraham had two sonnes ye one by a bonde mayde the other by a fre woman.
4:23	Yee and he which was of the bonde woman was borne after the flesshe: but he which was of the fre woman was borne by promes.
4:24	Which thinges betoken mystery. For these wemen are two testamentes the one fro the mounte Sina which gendreth vnto bondage which is Agar.
4:25	For mounte Sina is called Agar in Arabia and bordreth vpo the citie which is now Ierusalem and is in bondage with her chyldren.
4:26	But Ierusalem which is above is fre: which is the mother of vs all.
4:27	For it is written: reioyce thou bare that bearest no chyldre: breake forthe and crye thou that travelest not. For the desolate hath many moo chyldren then she which hath an husband.
4:28	Brethre we are after the maner of Isaac chyldren of promes.
4:29	But as then he yt was borne carnally persecuted him that was borne spiritually. Even so is it now.
4:30	Neverthelesse what sayth the scripture: put awaye the bonde woman and her sonne. For the sonne of the bonde woma shall not be heyre with the sonne of ye fre woman.
4:31	So then brethren we are not chyldre of the bonde woman: but of the fre woman.
