Galatians 4:14-31

14and my temptationG3986, which [was] in my fleshG4561, ye did not slight nor reject with contempt; but ye receivedG1209 me as an angelG32 of 1GodG2316, as ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 15What thenG3767 [was] your blessednessG3108? for I bearG3140 you witnessG3140 that, if possibleG1415, plucking out your own eyesG3788 ye would have givenG1325 [them] to me. 16So I have becomeG1096 your enemyG2190 in speakingG226 the truthG226 to you? 17They are not rightlyG2573 zealous after you, but desireG2309 to shut you out [from us], that ye may be zealous after them. 18But [it is] rightG2570 to be zealous at all times in what is rightG2570, and not onlyG3440 when I am presentG3918 with you — 19my childrenG5043, of whom I againG3825 travail in birth until ChristG5547 shall have been formed in you: 20and I should wishG2309 to be presentG737 with you nowG1161, and changeG236 my voiceG5456, for I am perplexedG639 as to you. 21TellG3004 me, ye who areG1510 desirous of beingG1510 under lawG3551, do ye not listenG191 to the lawG3551? 22For it is writtenG1125 that AbrahamG11 had twoG1417 sonsG5207; oneG1520 of the maid servant, and oneG1520 of the freeG1658 woman. 23But he [that was] of the maid servant was bornG1080 accordingG2596 to fleshG4561, and he [that was] of the freeG1658 woman through the promiseG1860. 24Which thingsG3778 have an allegorical sense; for these areG1510 twoG1417 covenantsG1242: oneG1520 from mountG3735 SinaiG4614, gendering to bondage, which isG1510 HagarG28. 25For Hagar isG1510 mountG3735 SinaiG4614 in ArabiaG688, and corresponds to JerusalemG2419 which [isG1510] nowG1161, for she isG1510 in bondage with her childrenG5043; 26but the JerusalemG2419 above isG1510 freeG1658, which isG1510 our motherG3384. 27For it is writtenG1125, RejoiceG2165, thou barrenG4723 that bearest not; break out and cryG994, thou that travailest not; because the childrenG5043 of the desolateG2048 are moreG3123 numerous than [those] of her that has a husbandG435. 28But ye, brethren, after the pattern of IsaacG2464, areG1510 childrenG5043 of promiseG1860. 29But as then he that was bornG1080 accordingG2596 to fleshG4561 persecutedG1377 him [that was bornG1080] accordingG2596 to SpiritG4151, so alsoG2532 [it is] nowG3568. 30But what saysG3004 the scriptureG1124? CastG1544 out the maid servant and her sonG5207; for the sonG5207 of the maid servant shall not inheritG2816 with the sonG5207 of the freeG1658 woman. 31So then, brethren, we areG1510 not maid servant's childrenG5043, but [childrenG5043] of the freeG1658 woman.
