Galatians - Chapter: 4


4:1	And I say, so long time as the heir is a babe, he differeth nothing from a servant -- being lord of all,
4:2	but is under tutors and stewards till the time appointed of the father,
4:3	so also we, when we were babes, under the elements of the world were in servitude,
4:4	and when the fulness of time did come, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law,
4:5	that those under law he may redeem, that the adoption of sons we may receive;
4:6	and because ye are sons, God did send forth the spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, `Abba, Father!'
4:7	so that thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.
4:8	But then, indeed, not having known God, ye were in servitude to those not by nature gods,
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?
4:10	days ye observe, and months, and times, and years!
4:11	I am afraid of you, lest in vain I did labour toward you.
4:12	Become as I `am' -- because I also `am' as ye brethren, I beseech you; to me ye did no hurt,
4:13	and ye have known that through infirmity of the flesh I did proclaim good news to you at the first,
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;
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;
4:16	so that your enemy have I become, being true to you?
4:17	they are zealous for you -- `yet' not well, but they wish to shut us out, that for them ye may be zealous;
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;
4:19	my little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you,
4:20	and I was wishing to be present with you now, and to change my voice, because I am in doubt about you.
4:21	Tell me, ye who are willing to be under law, the law do ye not hear?
4:22	for it hath been written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the maid-servant, and one by the free-woman,
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;
4:24	which things are allegorized, for these are the two covenants: one, indeed, from mount Sinai, to servitude bringing forth, which is Hagar;
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,
4:26	and the Jerusalem above is the free-woman, which is mother of us all,
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.'
4:28	And we, brethren, as Isaac, are children of promise,
4:29	but as then he who was born according to the flesh did persecute him according to the spirit, so also now;
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;'
4:31	then, brethren, we are not a maid-servant's children, but the free-woman's.


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.


4:1	But I saye: As longe as the heyre is a childe, there is no difference betwene him and a seruaunt, though he be lorde of all ye goodes:
4:2	but he is vnder tuters and gouerners, vntyll the tyme appoynted of the father.
4:3	Euen so we also, wha we were children, were in bondage vnder the outwarde tradicions.
4:4	But whan the tyme was fulfylled, God sent his sonne, borne of a woma, and put vnder the lawe,
4:5	to redeme them which were vnder the lawe, that we mighte receaue ye childshippe.
4:6	For so moch the as ye are children, God hath sent the sprete of his sonne in to oure hertes, which cryeth: Abba, deare father.
4:7	Wherfore now, thou art not a seruaunt, but a sonne. Yf thou be a sonne, then art thou the heyre of God thorow Christ.
4:8	Notwithstondinge whan ye knewe not God, ye dyd seruyce vnto them, which by nature are no Goddes.
4:9	But now seynge ye knowe God (yee rather are knowne off God) how is it that ye turne you backe agayne vnto the weake and beggerly tradicions, wher vnto ye desyre agayne afresh 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 laboure on you in vayne.
4:12	Brethre I beseke you, be ye as I am, for I am as ye are. Ye haue not hurte me at all.
4:13	For ye knowe how that in weaknes after ye flesh I preached ye Gospell vnto you at the first:
4:14	and my tentacion which I suffred after the flesh, ye despysed not, nether abhorred, but receaued me as an angell of God, yee euen as Christ Iesus.
4:15	How happy were ye then? For I beare you recorde, that yf it had bene possible, ye had plucked out youre awne eyes, and geue them vnto me.
4:16	Am I therfore become yor enemy, because I tell you ye trueth?
4:17	They are gelous ouer you amysse. Yee they wolde make you to fall backe, that ye might be feruet to the warde.
4:18	It is good to be feruent, so yt it be allwaye in a good thinge, and not onely whan I am present wt you.
4:19	My litle children (of whom I trauayle in byrth agayne, vntyll Christ be fashioned in you)
4:20	I wolde I were wt you now, and coulde chauge my voyce, for I stode i doute of you.
4:21	Tell me ye that wylbe vnder the lawe, haue ye not herde the lawe?
4:22	For it is wrytten, that Abraham had two sonnes the one by a bonde mayde, the other by a fre woman.
4:23	As for him that was of the bode mayde, he was borne after ye flesh: but he which was of the fre woman, was borne by promes.
4:24	These wordes betoken somwhat. For these wemen are the two Testamentes: The one from the mount Sina, that gendreth vnto bondage, which is Agar.
4:25	For Agar is called in Arabia ye mount Sina, and reacheth vnto Ierusalem which now is, and is in bondage with hir children.
4:26	But Ierusalem that is aboue, is the fre woman, which is the mother of vs all.
4:27	For it is wrytte: Reioyse thou baren, that bearest no childre: breake forth and crye thou yt trauaylest not, for the desolate hath many mo childre, then she which hath an hussbande.
4:28	As for vs (brethren) we are the children of Isaac acordinge to the promes.
4:29	But like as at that tyme, he that was borne after the flesh, persecuted him yt was borne after the sprete, euen so is it now also.
4:30	But what sayeth the scripture? Put awaye the bonde mayden and hir sonne: for the sonne of ye bondmayde shal not be heyre with ye sonne of the fre woman.
4:31	So now brethren, we are not children of the bonde mayde, but of the fre woman.
