Galatians 4

1NowG1161 I sayG3004, That the heirG3588G2818, as long asG3745 he isG1510 a childG3516, differethG1308 nothingG3762 fromG1308 a servantG1401, thoughG1401 he beG1510 lordG2962 of allG3956; 2ButG235 isG1510 underG5259 tutorsG2012 andG2532 governorsG3623 untilG891 the time appointedG3588G4287 of the fatherG3588G3962. 3EvenG2532 soG3779 weG1473, whenG3753 we wereG1510 childrenG3516, wereG1510 in bondageG1402 underG5259 the elementsG3588G4747 of the worldG3588G2889:

4ButG1161 whenG3753 the fulnessG3588G4138 of the timeG3588G5550 was comeG2064, GodG3588G2316 sent forthG1821 hisG846 SonG3588G5207, madeG1096 ofG1537 a womanG1135, madeG1096 underG5259 the lawG3551, 5To redeemG1805 themG3588 that wereG2443 underG5259 the lawG3551, thatG2443 we might receiveG618 the adoption of sonsG3588G5206. 6AndG1161 becauseG3754 ye areG1510 sonsG5207, GodG3588G2316 hath sent forthG1821 the SpiritG3588G4151 of hisG846 SonG3588G5207 intoG1519 yourG4771 heartsG3588G2588, cryingG2896, AbbaG5, FatherG3588G3962. 7WhereforeG5620 thou artG1510 no moreG3765 a servantG1401, butG235 a sonG5207; andG1161 ifG1487 a sonG5207, thenG2532 an heirG2818 of GodG2316 throughG1223 ChristG5547.

8HowbeitG235 thenG5119, when ye knew notG3756 GodG2316, ye did serviceG1398 unto them whichG3588 by natureG5449 areG1510 noG3361 godsG2316. 9ButG1161 nowG3568, after that ye have knownG1097 GodG2316, orG1161 ratherG3123 are knownG1097 ofG5259 GodG2316, howG4459 turn yeG1994 againG3825 toG1909 the weakG772 andG2532 beggarlyG4434 elementsG4747, whereuntoG3739 ye desireG2309 againG3825 to be in bondageG1398? 10Ye observeG3906 daysG2250, andG2532 monthsG3376, andG2532 timesG2540, andG2532 yearsG1763.

11I am afraid ofG5399 youG4771, lestG3381 I have bestowedG2872 uponG1519 youG4771 labourG2872 in vainG1500. 12BrethrenG80, I beseechG1189 youG4771, beG1096 asG5613 IG1473 am; for IG2504 am asG5613 yeG4771 are: ye haveG91 notG3762 injuredG91 meG1473 at all. 13Ye knowG1492 howG3754 throughG1223 infirmityG769 of the fleshG3588G4561 I preached the gospelG2097 unto youG4771 at the firstG4386. 14AndG2532 myG1473 temptationG3588G3986 which wasG3588 inG1722 myG1473 fleshG3588G4561 ye despisedG1848 notG3756, norG3761 rejectedG1609; butG235 receivedG1209 meG1473 asG5613 an angelG32 of GodG2316, even asG5613 ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 15WhereG5101 isG1510 thenG3767 the blessednessG3588G3108 ye spake ofG4771? forG1063 I bearG3140 youG4771 recordG3140, thatG3754, ifG1487 it had been possibleG1415, ye would have plucked outG1846 your ownG4771 eyesG3588G3788, and have given themG1325 to meG1473. 16Am IG1096 thereforeG5620 becomeG1096 yourG4771 enemyG2190, because I tellG226 youG4771 the truthG226? 17They zealously affectG2206 youG4771, but notG3756 wellG2573; yeaG235, they wouldG2309 excludeG1576 youG4771, thatG2443 ye might affectG2206 themG846. 18ButG1161 it is goodG2570 to be zealously affectedG2206 alwaysG3842 inG1722 a goodG2570 thing, andG2532 notG3361 onlyG3440 when IG1473 am presentG3918 withG4314 youG4771. 19MyG1473 little childrenG5040, of whomG3739 I travail in birthG5605 againG3825 untilG891 ChristG5547 be formedG3445 inG1722 youG4771, 20I desireG2309 to be presentG3918 withG4314 youG4771 nowG737, andG2532 to changeG236 myG1473 voiceG3588G5456; forG3754 I stand in doubtG639 ofG1722 youG4771.

21TellG3004 meG1473, ye thatG3588 desireG2309 to beG1510 underG5259 the lawG3551, do yeG191 notG3756 hearG191 the lawG3588G3551? 22ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, thatG3754 AbrahamG11 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5207, the oneG1520 byG1537 a bondmaidG3588G3814, the otherG1520 byG1537 a freewomanG1658. 23ButG235 heG3588 who was ofG1537 the bondwomanG3588G3814 was bornG1080 afterG2596 the fleshG4561; butG1161 heG3588 ofG1537 the freewomanG1658 was byG1223 promiseG3588G1860. 24Which thingsG3748 areG1510 an allegoryG238: forG1063 theseG3778 areG1510 theG1242 twoG1417 covenantsG1242; the oneG1520 fromG575 the mountG3735 SinaiG4614, which genderethG1080 toG1519 bondageG1397, whichG3748 isG1510 HagarG28. 25ForG1063 thisG3588 HagarG28 isG1510 mountG3735 SinaiG4614 inG1722 ArabiaG3588G688, andG1161 answereth toG4960 JerusalemG2419 whichG3588 nowG3568 isG3588, andG1161 is in bondageG1398 withG3326 herG846 childrenG3588G5043. 26ButG1161 JerusalemG2419 which isG3588 aboveG507 isG1510 freeG1658, whichG3748 isG1510 the motherG3384 of usG1473 allG3956. 27ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, RejoiceG2165, thou barrenG4723 thatG3588 bearestG5088 notG3756; break forthG4486 andG2532 cryG994, thou thatG3588 travailestG5605 notG3756: forG3754 the desolate hathG2048 manyG4183 moreG3123 childrenG3588G5043 thanG2228 she whichG3588 hathG2192 an husbandG3588G435. 28NowG1161 weG1473, brethrenG80, asG2596 Isaac wasG2464, areG1510 the childrenG5043 of promiseG1860. 29ButG235 asG5618 thenG5119 he thatG3588 was bornG1080 afterG2596 the fleshG4561 persecutedG1377 himG3588 that was born afterG2596 the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 soG3779 it is nowG3568. 30NeverthelessG235 whatG5101 saithG3004 the scriptureG3588G1124? Cast outG1544 the bondwomanG3588G3814 andG2532 herG846 sonG3588G5207: forG1063 the sonG3588G5207 of the bondwomanG3588G3814 shallG2816 notG3756 be heirG2816 withG3326 the sonG3588G5207 of the freewomanG1658. 31So thenG686, brethrenG80, we areG1510 notG3756 childrenG5043 of the bondwomanG3814, butG235 of the freeG1658.
