Galatians - Chapter: 4

>
4:1And I say that the heyre as longe as he is a chylde, differeth not from a seruaunt thoughe he be Lorde of all,
4:2but is vnder tutours and gouernours, vntyll the tyme appoynted of the father.
4:3Euen so we as longe as we were chyldren, were in bondage vnder the ordinaunces of the world.
4:4But when the tyme was full come, God sente hys sonne made of a woman, and made bonde vnto the lawe,
4:5to redeme them which were vnder the lawe: that we thorowe eleccyon myght receyue the enheritaunce that belongeth vnto the naturall sonnes.
4:6Because ye are sonnes, God hath sent the spyryte of hys sonne into our hertes, whiche cryeth Abba father.
4:7Wherfore now thou art not a seruaunt but a sonne. Yf thou be the sonne, thou arte also the heyre of God thorowe Christe.
4:8Notwithstandynge when ye knewe not God ye dyd seruyce vnto them, which by nature were no Goddes.
4:9But 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?
4:10Ye obserue dayes, and monethes, and tymes, and yeares.
4:11I am in feare of you lest I haue bestowed on you laboure in vayne.
4:12Brethren I beseche you, be ye as I am, for I am as ye are. Ye haue not hurte me at all.
4:13Ye knowe howe thorowe infyrmytye of the fleshe, I preached the Gospell vnto you at the fyrste.
4:14And 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.
4:15How 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.
4:16Am I therfore become your enemye, because I tell you the truth?
4:17They are gelous ouer you amysse. Yea, they intende to exclude you, that ye should be feruent to them ward.
4:18It is good alwayes to be feruent, so it be in a good thinge, and not onelye when I am presente with you.
4:19My lytle chyldren (of whome I trauayle in byrth agayne vntyll Christe be fashyoned in you)
4:20I woulde I were with you now, and coulde chaunge my voyce, for I stande in a doubte of you.
4:21Tell me ye that desyre to be vnder the law haue ye not heard of the law?
4:22For it is writen, that Abraham had two sonnes, the one by a bonde mayd the other by a fre woman.
4:23Yea 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.
4:24Whiche thynges betoken misterye. For these women are two testamentes the one from the mounte Syna, whiche gendreth to bondage whiche is Agar.
4:25For mounte Syna is called Agar in Arabia, and bordreth vpon the citie, which is nowe Hierusalem, and is in bondage with her chyldren.
4:26But Hierusalem, whiche is aboue, is fre, whiche is the mother of vs all.
4:27For 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.
4:28Brethren we are after the maner of Isaac children of promes.
4:29But as then he that was borne carnally, persecuted him that was borne spirytuallye. Euen so is it nowe.
4:30Neuerthelesse 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.
4:31So then brethren we are not chyldren of the bonde woman, but of the fre woman.

 

4:1Then I say, that the heire as long as hee is a childe, differeth nothing from a seruant, though he be Lord of all,
4:2But is vnder tutours and gouernours, vntil the time appointed of the Father.
4:3Euen so, we when wee were children, were in bondage vnder the rudiments of the world.
4:4But when the fulnesse of time was come, God sent forth his Sonne made of a woman, and made vnder the Lawe,
4:5That hee might redeeme them which were vnder the Law, that we might receiue the adoption of the sonnes.
4:6And because ye are sonnes, God hath sent foorth the Spirit of his Sonne into your heartes, which crieth, Abba, Father.
4:7Wherefore, thou art no more a seruant, but a sonne: now if thou be a sone, thou art also the heire of God through Christ.
4:8But euen then, when ye knewe not God, yee did seruice vnto them, which by nature are not gods:
4:9But 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?
4:10Ye obserue dayes, and moneths, and times and yeeres.
4:11I am in feare of you, lest I haue bestowed on you labour in vaine.
4:12Be ye as I (for I am euen as you) brethren, I beseech you: ye haue not hurt me at all.
4:13And ye know, how through infirmitie of the flesh, I preached ye Gospel vnto you at the first.
4:14And 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.
4:15What 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.
4:16Am I therefore become your enemie, because I tell you the trueth?
4:17They are ielous ouer you amisse: yea, they woulde exclude you, that ye shoulde altogether loue them.
4:18But it is a good thing to loue earnestly alwayes in a good thing, and not onely when I am present with you,
4:19My litle children, of whome I trauaile in birth againe, vntill Christ be formed in you.
4:20And I would I were with you nowe, that I might change my voyce: for I am in doubt of you.
4:21Tell me, ye that will be vnder the Law, doe ye not heare the Lawe?
4:22For it is written, that Abraham had two sonnes, one by a seruant, and one by a free woman.
4:23But he which was of the seruant, was borne after the flesh: and he which was of the free woman, was borne by promise.
4:24By 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.
4:26But Hierusalem, which is aboue, is free: which is the mother of vs all.
4:27For 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.
4:28Therefore, brethren, wee are after the maner of Isaac, children of the promise.
4:29But as then hee that was borne after the flesh, persecuted him that was borne after the Spirit, euen so it is nowe.
4:30But 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.
4:31Then brethren, we are not children of the seruant, but of the free woman.

 

4:1Now I say, that the heire, as long as hee is a child, differeth nothing from a seruant, though hee bee Lord of all,
4:2But is vnder tutors and gouernours vntill the time appointed of the father.
4:3Euen so we, when wee were children, were in bondage vnder the Elements of the world:
4:4But when the fulnes of the time was come, God sent foorth his Sonne made of a woman, made vnder the Law,
4:5To redeeme them that were vnder the Law, that we might receiue the adoption of sonnes.
4:6And because yee are sonnes, God hath sent foorth the spirit of his Sonne into your hearts, crying Abba, Father.
4:7Wherefore thou art no more a seruant, but a sonne; and if a sonne, then an heire of God through Christ.
4:8Howbeit, then when ye knew not God, yee did seruice vnto them which by nature are no Gods.
4:9But now after that yee haue knowen God, or rather are knowen of God, how turne ye againe to the weak and beggerly Elements, whereunto ye desire againe to be in bondage?
4:10Yee obserue dayes, and moneths, and times, and yeeres.
4:11I am afraide of you, lest I haue bestowed vpon you labour in vaine.
4:12Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are, ye haue not iniured me at all.
4:13Ye know how through infirmitie of the flesh, I preached the Gospel vnto you at the first.
4:14And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor reiected, but receiued mee as an Angel of God, euen as Christ Iesus.
4:15Where is then the blessednes you spake of? for I beare you record, that if it had bin possible, ye would haue plucked out your own eyes, and haue giuen them to me.
4:16Am I therefore become your enemie, because I tell you the trueth?
4:17They zelously affect you, but not well: yea, they would exclude you, that you might affect them.
4:18But it is good to bee zealously affected alwayes in a good thing, and not onely when I am present with you.
4:19My litle children, of whom I trauaile in birth againe, vntill Christ bee formed in you:
4:20I desire to bee present with you now, and to change my voyce, for I stand in doubt of you.
4:21Tell me, ye that desire to be vnder the Law, doe ye not heare the Law?
4:22For it is written, that Abraham had two sonnes, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
4:23But he who was of the bondwoman, was borne after the flesh: but hee of the freewoman, was by promise.
4:24Which things are an Allegorie; for these are the two Couenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
4:25For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Ierusalem, which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
4:26But Ierusalem which is aboue is free, which is the mother of vs all.
4:27For it is written, Reioyce thou barren that bearest not, breake foorth and cry thou that traueilest not; for the desolate hath many moe children then she which hath an husband.
4:28Now wee, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
4:29But as then hee that was borne after the flesh, persecuted him that was borne after the Spirit, euen so it is now.
4:30Neuerthelesse, what saith the Scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her sonne: for the son of the bondwoman shall not bee heire with the son of the freewoman.
4:31So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
