4:1 | And I say that the heyre as longe as he is a chylde, differeth not from a seruaunt thoughe he be Lorde of all, |
4:2 | but is vnder tutours and gouernours, vntyll the tyme appoynted of the father. |
4:3 | Euen so we as longe as we were chyldren, were in bondage vnder the ordinaunces of the world. |
4:4 | But when the tyme was full come, God sente hys sonne made of a woman, and made bonde vnto the lawe, |
4:5 | to redeme them which were vnder the lawe: that we thorowe eleccyon myght receyue the enheritaunce that belongeth vnto the naturall sonnes. |
4:6 | Because ye are sonnes, God hath sent the spyryte of hys sonne into our hertes, whiche cryeth Abba father. |
4:7 | Wherfore now thou art not a seruaunt but a sonne. Yf thou be the sonne, thou arte also the heyre of God thorowe Christe. |
4:8 | Notwithstandynge when ye knewe not God ye dyd seruyce vnto them, which by nature were no Goddes. |
4:9 | But nowe seynge, ye knowe God (yea rather are knowen of God) how is it that ye turne agayne to the weake & beggerly ceremonies, wherevnto agayne ye desyre a freshe to be in bondage? |
4:10 | Ye obserue dayes, and monethes, and tymes, and yeares. |
4:11 | I am in feare of you lest I haue bestowed on you laboure in vayne. |
4:12 | Brethren I beseche you, be ye as I am, for I am as ye are. Ye haue not hurte me at all. |
4:13 | Ye knowe howe thorowe infyrmytye of the fleshe, I preached the Gospell vnto you at the fyrste. |
4:14 | And my temptacion whiche I suffered by reason of my flesh, ye dispysed not, neyther abhorred, but receyued me as an Angell of God: yea as Christe Iesu. |
4:15 | How happye were ye then? for I beare you recorde that yf it had bene possyble, ye woulde haue plucked oute youre owne eyes, and haue geuen them to me. |
4:16 | Am I therfore become your enemye, because I tell you the truth? |
4:17 | They are gelous ouer you amysse. Yea, they intende to exclude you, that ye should be feruent to them ward. |
4:18 | It is good alwayes to be feruent, so it be in a good thinge, and not onelye when I am presente with you. |
4:19 | My lytle chyldren (of whome I trauayle in byrth agayne vntyll Christe be fashyoned in you) |
4:20 | I woulde I were with you now, and coulde chaunge my voyce, for I stande in a doubte of you. |
4:21 | Tell me ye that desyre to be vnder the law haue ye not heard of the law? |
4:22 | For it is writen, that Abraham had two sonnes, the one by a bonde mayd the other by a fre woman. |
4:23 | Yea and he whiche was of the bond woman, was borne after the fleshe: but he whiche was of the fre woman, was borne by promes. |
4:24 | Whiche thynges betoken misterye. For these women are two testamentes the one from the mounte Syna, whiche gendreth to bondage whiche is Agar. |
4:25 | For mounte Syna is called Agar in Arabia, and bordreth vpon the citie, which is nowe Hierusalem, and is in bondage with her chyldren. |
4:26 | But Hierusalem, whiche is aboue, is fre, whiche is the mother of vs all. |
4:27 | For it is written: Reioyce thou baren, that bearest no chyldren: breake forth and crye, thou that trauaylest not. For the desolate hath many more children then she whiche hath an husband. |
4:28 | Brethren we are after the maner of Isaac children of promes. |
4:29 | But as then he that was borne carnally, persecuted him that was borne spirytuallye. Euen so is it nowe. |
4:30 | Neuerthelesse what sayth the scripture: put awaye the bond woman and her sonne. For the sonne of the bond woman shall not be heyre with the sonne of the fre woman. |
4:31 | So then brethren we are not chyldren of the bonde woman, but of the fre woman. |
4:1 | And I say, that the heyre, as long as he is a chylde, differeth nothyng from a seruaut, though he be Lorde of all, |
4:2 | But is vnder tuters and gouernours, vntyll the tyme appoynted of the father. |
4:3 | Euen so we, when we were chyldren, were in bondage vnder ye rudimentes of the worlde: |
4:4 | But when the fulnesse of the tyme was come, God sent his sonne, made of a woman, and made vnder the lawe, |
4:5 | To redeeme them that were vnder the lawe, that we myght receaue the adoption of chyldren. |
4:6 | Because ye are sonnes, God hath sent the spirite of his sonne into your heartes, crying, Abba, father. |
4:7 | Wherfore thou art no more a seruaunt, but a sonne: If thou be a sonne, thou art also an heire of God, through Christ. |
4:8 | Notwithstandyng, when ye knewe not God, ye dyd seruice vnto the which by nature are no Gods. |
4:9 | But nowe after that ye haue knowen God, yea, rather are knowen of God, howe turne ye agayne vnto the weake and beggarly rudimentes, whervnto againe ye desire a freshe to be in bondage? |
4:10 | Ye obserue dayes, and monethes, and tymes, and yeres. |
4:11 | I am in feare of you, lest I haue bestowed on you labour in vayne. |
4:12 | Brethren, I besech you be as I [am] for I am as ye are. Ye haue not iniured me at all. |
4:13 | Ye knowe howe through infirmitie of the fleshe, I preached the Gospell vnto you at the first: |
4:14 | And my temptation which was in my fleshe, ye dispised not, neither abhorred: but receaued me as an Angel of God, euen as Christe Iesus. |
4:15 | What is then your felicitie? For I beare you recorde, that yf it had ben possible, ye woulde haue plucked out your owne eyes, and haue geuen them to me. |
4:16 | Am I therfore become your enemie, because I tell you the trueth? |
4:17 | They are gelouse ouer you amisse: Yea, they intende to exclude you, that ye shoulde be feruent to them warde. |
4:18 | It is good alwayes to be zelous in a good thyng, and not only when I am present with you |
4:19 | My litle chyldren, of whom I trauayle in birth agayne, vntyll Christe be fashioned in you. |
4:20 | But I desire to be present with you nowe, and to chaunge my voyce: for I stande in doubt of you. |
4:21 | Tell me, ye that desire to be vnder the lawe, do ye not heare the lawe? |
4:22 | For it is written, that Abraham had two sonnes, the one by a bonde mayde, the other by a free woman: |
4:23 | But he which was of the bonde woman, was borne after the fleshe: but he which was of the free woman, [was borne] by promise. |
4:24 | Which thynges are spoken by an allegorie. For these are two testamentes: the one from the mount Sina, which gendreth vnto bondage, which is Agar. |
4:25 | For Agar is the mount Sina in Arabia, and bordreth vpon the citie, which is nowe [called] Hierusalem, and is in bondage with her chyldren. |
4:26 | But Hierusalem which is aboue, is free: which is the mother of vs all. |
4:27 | For it is written: Reioyce thou baren, that bearest no chyldren, breake foorth and crye, thou that trauaylest not: For the desolate hath many mo chyldren, then she which hath an husbande. |
4:28 | But brethren, we are after Isaac the chyldren of promise. |
4:29 | But as then he that was borne after the fleshe, persecuted hym that was borne after the spirite: euen so is it now. |
4:30 | Neuerthelesse, what saith the scripture? put away the bondwoman and her sonne: For the sonne of the bondwoman, shall not be heire with the sonne of the free woman. |
4:31 | So then brethren, we are not chyldren of the bonde woman, but of the free. |
4:1 | Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he is lord of all; |
4:2 | But is under tutors and governors 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 was come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born 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 | However then, when ye knew not God, ye did service to them which by nature are no gods. |
4:9 | But now, after ye have known God, or rather are known by God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which 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 labor 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 that in infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel to 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 | What then was the blessedness ye spoke of; for I bear you testimony, 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; for, they would exclude you, that ye may 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 bond-maid, the other by a free-woman. |
4:23 | But he who was of the bond-woman, was born according to the flesh; but he of the free-woman 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 who hath a husband. |
4:28 | Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. |
4:29 | But as then he that was born according to the flesh persecuted him that was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. |
4:30 | Nevertheless, what saith the scripture? Cast out the bond-woman and her son: for the son of the bond-woman shall not be heir with the son of the free-woman. |
4:31 | So then, brethren, we are not children of the bond-woman, but of the free. |
