Galatians 4:1-9

1NowG1161 I sayG3004, That the heirG2818, as long asG1909G3745G5550 he isG2076 a childG3516, differethG1308 nothingG3762 from a servantG1401, though he isG5607 lordG2962 of allG3956; 2ButG235 isG2076 underG5259 tutorsG2012 andG2532 governorsG3623 untilG891 the time appointedG4287 by the fatherG3962. 3EvenG2532 soG3779 weG2249, whenG3753 we wereG2258 childrenG3516, wereG2258 in bondageG1402 underG5259 the elementsG4747 of the worldG2889:1 4ButG1161 whenG3753 the fulnessG4138 of the timeG5550 was comeG2064, GodG2316 sent forthG1821 hisG846 SonG5207, bornG1096 ofG1537 a womanG1135, bornG1096 underG5259 the lawG3551, 5ToG2443 redeemG1805 them that were underG5259 the lawG3551, thatG2443 we might receiveG618 the adoption of sonsG5206. 6AndG1161 becauseG3754 ye areG2075 sonsG5207, GodG2316 hath sent forthG1821 the SpiritG4151 of hisG846 SonG5207 intoG1519 yourG5216 heartsG2588, cryingG2896, AbbaG5, FatherG3962. 7ThereforeG5620 thou artG1488 no moreG3765 a servantG1401, butG235 a sonG5207; andG1161 ifG1487 a sonG5207, thenG2532 an heirG2818 of GodG2316 throughG1223 ChristG5547.

8HoweverG235 thenG5119G3303, when ye knewG1492 notG3756 GodG2316, ye did serviceG1398 to them which by natureG5449 areG5607 noG3361 godsG2316. 9ButG1161 nowG3568, after ye have knownG1097 GodG2316, orG1161 ratherG3123 are knownG1097 byG5259 GodG2316, howG4459 turn yeG1994 againG3825 toG1909 the weakG772 andG2532 beggarlyG4434 elementsG4747, to whichG3739 ye desireG2309 againG3825G509 to be in bondageG1398?23
