Galatians 4
4:1And I say, for as long a time the heir is an infant, in no way does he differ from a bondman, though being master of all things;
4:2but he is under caretakers and managers until the prescribed time of the father.
4:3So also us, when we were infants under the elements of the world, we were being enslaved.
4:4But when came the fullness of the time, God sent forth his son, being born of a woman, being born under law,
4:5that the ones under law he should buy back, that the adoption we should accept.
4:6But because you are sons, God sent out the spirit of his son in your hearts, crying out, Abba father.
4:7So that no longer are you a bondman, but a son; and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.
4:8But then indeed not knowing God, you were a slave to the ones not by nature being gods.
4:9But now, having known God, but rather having been known by God, how do you return again unto the weak and poor elements, in which again, as at the beginning you want to serve?
4:10You closely watch days, and months, and times, and years.
4:11I fear for you, lest perhaps in vain I have tired in labor for you.
4:12I beseech you brethren become as I am for also I am as you! In nothing you wronged me.
4:13But you know that through weakness of the flesh I announced good news to you formerly,
4:14and my test, the one in my flesh, you treated not with contempt, nor rejected with contempt; but as a messenger of God you received me, even as Christ Jesus.
4:15What then was your blessing? For I witness to you that if able, having gouged out your eyes you would have given them to me.
4:16So then have I become your enemy being truthful with you?
4:17They are zealous for you, but not for well, but they want to exclude you, that you should be zealous for them.
4:18But it is good to be zealous in good at all times, and not only in my being at hand with you.
4:19My sons, whom again I travail as far as of which time Christ should have been formed in you.
4:20And I wanted to be at hand with you just now, and to change my voice; for I am perplexed as to you.
4:21Tell me, O ones wanting to be under law, do you not hearken to the law?
4:22For it has been written that Abraham had two sons; one of the maidservant, and one of the free woman.
4:23But the one indeed of the maidservant has been born according to flesh; but the one of the free woman was through the promise.
4:24Which things are allegorized; for these are the two covenants; one indeed from mount Sinai, born in slavery, which is Hagar.
4:25For Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponding with the present Jerusalem, and she slaved with her children.
4:26But the upward Jerusalem is free, which is mother of all of us.
4:27For it has been written, Be glad O sterile one, the one not giving birth! Break asunder and yell, O one not travailing! for many are the children of the barren rather than of the one having the husband.
4:28And we, brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise.
4:29But as then the one born according to flesh persecuted the one born according to spirit, so also now.
4:30But what says the scripture? Cast out the maidservant and her son! for in no way shall the son of the maidservant inherit with the son of the free one.
4:31So then, brethren, we are not children of the maidservant, but of the free one.
