Galatians - Chapter: 4


4:1	But Y seie, as long tyme as the eir is a litil child, he dyuersith no thing fro a seruaunt, whanne he is lord of alle thingis;
4:2	but he is vndur keperis and tutoris, in to the tyme determyned of the fadir.
4:3	So we, whanne we weren litle children, we serueden vndur the elementis of the world.
4:4	But aftir that the fulfilling of tyme cam, God sente his sone,
4:5	maad of a womman, maad vndur the lawe, that he schulde ayenbie hem that weren vndur the lawe, that we schulden vnderfonge the adopcioun of sones.
4:6	And for ye ben Goddis sones, God sente his spirit in to youre hertis, criynge, Abba, fadir.
4:7	And so ther is not now a seruaunt, but a sone; and if he is a sone, he is an eir bi God.
4:8	But thanne ye vnknowynge God, serueden to hem that in kynde weren not goddis.
4:9	But now whanne ye han knowe God, and ben knowun of God, hou ben ye turned eftsoone to the febil and nedi elementis, to the whiche ye wolen eft serue?
4:10	Ye taken kepe to daies, and monethis, and tymes, and yeris.
4:11	But Y drede you, lest without cause Y haue trauelid among you.
4:12	Be ye as Y, for Y am as ye. Britheren, Y biseche you, ye han hurt me no thing.
4:13	But ye knowen, that bi infirmyte of fleisch Y haue prechid to you now bifore;
4:14	and ye dispiseden not, nether forsoken youre temptacioun in my fleisch, but ye resseyueden me as an aungel of God, as `Crist Jhesu.
4:15	Where thanne is youre blessyng? For Y bere you witnesse, that if it myyte haue be don. ye wolden haue put out youre iyen, and haue yyuen hem to me.
4:16	Am Y thanne maad an enemye to you, seiynge to you the sothe?
4:17	Thei louen not you wel, but thei wolen exclude you, that ye suen hem.
4:18	But sue ye the good euermore in good, and not oneli whanne Y am present with you.
4:19	My smale children, whiche Y bere eftsoones, til that Crist be fourmed in you,
4:20	and Y wolde now be at you, and chaunge my vois, for Y am confoundid among you.
4:21	Seie to me, ye that wolen be vndir the lawe, `han ye not red the lawe?
4:22	For it is writun, that Abraham hadde two sones, oon of a seruaunt, and oon of a fre womman.
4:23	But he that was of the seruaunt, was borun after the flesh; but he that was of the fre womman, by a biheeste.
4:24	The whiche thingis ben seid bi an othir vndirstonding. For these ben two testamentis; oon in the hille of Synai, gendringe in to seruage, which is Agar.
4:25	For Syna is an hille that is in Arabie, which hille is ioyned to it that is now Jerusalem, and seruith with hir children.
4:26	But that Jerusalem that is aboue, is fre, whiche is oure modir.
4:27	For it is writun, Be glad, thou bareyn, that berist not; breke out and crye, that bringist forth no children; for many sones ben of hir that is left of hir hosebonde, more than of hir that hath an hosebonde.
4:28	For, britheren, we ben sones of biheeste aftir Isaac;
4:29	but now as this that was borun after the fleisch pursuede him that was aftir the spirit, so now.
4:30	But what seith the scripture? Caste out the seruaunt and hir sone, for the sone of the seruaunt schal not be eir with the sone of the fre wijf.
4:31	And so, britheren, we ben not sones of the seruaunt, but of the fre wijf, bi which fredom Crist hath maad vs fre.


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	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.
