Galatians 4:1
|
|
But I say that so long as the heir is a child,
he differeth nothing from a bondservant though he is lord of all; |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:2
|
|
but is under guardians and stewards until the
day appointed of the father. |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:3
|
|
So we also, when we were children, were held
in bondage under the rudiments of the world: |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:4
|
|
but
when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born
under the law, |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:5
|
|
that he might redeem them that were under the
law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:6
|
|
And because ye are sons, God sent forth the
Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father. |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:7
|
|
So that thou art no longer a bondservant, but
a son; and if a son, then an heir through God. |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:8
|
|
Howbeit at that time, not knowing God, ye were
in bondage to them that by nature are no gods: |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:9
|
|
but now that ye have come to know God, or rather
to be known by God, how turn ye back again to the weak and beggarly rudiments,
whereunto ye desire to be in bondage over again? |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:10
|
|
Ye observe days, and months, and seasons, and
years. |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:11
|
|
I am afraid of you, lest by any means I have
bestowed labor upon you in vain. |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:12
|
|
I beseech you, brethren, become as I am, for
I also am become as ye are. Ye did me no wrong: |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:13
|
|
but ye know that because of an infirmity of
the flesh I preached the gospel unto you the first time: |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:14
|
|
and that which was a temptation to you in my
flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but ye received me as an angel of God, even
as Christ Jesus. |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:15
|
|
Where then is that gratulation of yourselves?
for I bear you witness, that, if possible, ye would have plucked out your eyes
and given them to me. |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:16
|
|
So then am I become your enemy, by telling you
the truth? |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:17
|
|
They zealously seek you in no good way; nay,
they desire to shut you out, that ye may seek them. |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:18
|
|
But it is good to be zealously sought in a good
matter at all times, and not only when I am present with you. |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:19
|
|
My little children, of whom I am again in travail
until Christ be formed in you - |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:20
|
|
but I could wish to be present with you now,
and to change my tone; for I am perplexed about you. |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:21
|
|
Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law,
do ye not hear the law? |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:22
|
|
For it is written, that Abraham had two sons,
one by the handmaid, and one by the freewoman. |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:23
|
|
Howbeit the son by the handmaid is born after
the flesh; but the son by the freewoman is born through promise. |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:24
|
|
Which things contain an allegory: for these
women are two covenants; one from mount Sinai, bearing children unto bondage,
which is Hagar. |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:25
|
|
Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia and
answereth to the Jerusalem that now is: for she is in bondage with her children.
|
|
|
|
Galatians 4:26
|
|
But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which
is our mother. |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:27
|
|
For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that
bearest not; Break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: For more are the children
of the desolate than of her that hath the husband. |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:28
|
|
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children
of promise. |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:29
|
|
But as then he that was born after the flesh
persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, so also it is now. |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:30
|
|
Howbeit what saith the scripture? Cast out the
handmaid and her son: for the son of the handmaid shall not inherit with the son
of the freewoman. |
|
|
|
Galatians 4:31
|
|
Wherefore, brethren, we are not children of
a handmaid, but of the freewoman. |
