Galatians 4 : 1 (MKJV)

But I say, Over so long a time the heir is an infant, he does not differ from a slave, though being lord of all;

Galatians 4 : 2 (MKJV)

but he is under guardians and housemasters until the term appointed before by the father.

Galatians 4 : 3 (MKJV)

Even so we, when we were infants, were in bondage under the elements of the world.

Galatians 4 : 4 (MKJV)

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, coming into being out of a woman, having come under Law,

Galatians 4 : 5 (MKJV)

that He might redeem those under Law, so that we might receive the adoption of sons.

Galatians 4 : 6 (MKJV)

And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

Galatians 4 : 7 (MKJV)

So that you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.

Galatians 4 : 8 (MKJV)

But then, indeed, not knowing God, you served as slaves to those not by nature being gods.

Galatians 4 : 9 (MKJV)

But now, knowing God, but rather are known by God, how do you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements to which you again desire to slave anew?

Galatians 4 : 10 (MKJV)

You observe days and months and times and years.

Galatians 4 : 11 (MKJV)

I fear for you, lest somehow I have labored among you in vain.

Galatians 4 : 12 (MKJV)

Brothers, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as you. You have not injured me at all.

Galatians 4 : 13 (MKJV)

But you know that through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel to you before,

Galatians 4 : 14 (MKJV)

and you did not despise my temptation in my flesh, nor did you spurn it. But you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.

Galatians 4 : 15 (MKJV)

What then was your blessedness? For I bear you record that, if you were able, plucking out your eyes, you would have given them to me.

Galatians 4 : 16 (MKJV)

So then did I become your enemy speaking to you the truth?

Galatians 4 : 17 (MKJV)

They are zealous for you, but not well. But they only desire to shut you out, that you be zealous to them.

Galatians 4 : 18 (MKJV)

But it is good to be zealous always in a good thing, and not only in my being present with you.

Galatians 4 : 19 (MKJV)

My children, for whom I again travail until Christ should be formed in you,

Galatians 4 : 20 (MKJV)

even now I desired to be present with you, and to change my voice; for I am in doubt as to you.

Galatians 4 : 21 (MKJV)

Tell me, those desiring to be under Law, do you not hear the Law?

Galatians 4 : 22 (MKJV)

For it is written: Abraham had two sons, the one out of the slave-woman, and one out of the free woman.

Galatians 4 : 23 (MKJV)

But, indeed, he out of the slave-woman has been born according to flesh, and he out of the free woman through the promise;

Galatians 4 : 24 (MKJV)

which things are being allegorized; for these are the two covenants, one indeed from Mount Sinai bringing forth to slavery, which is Hagar.

Galatians 4 : 25 (MKJV)

For Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to Jerusalem which now is, and is in slavery with her children.

Galatians 4 : 26 (MKJV)

But the Jerusalem from above is free, who is the mother of us all.

Galatians 4 : 27 (MKJV)

For it is written, "Rejoice, barren one not bearing; break forth and shout, you not travailing; for more are the children of the desolate than she having the husband."

Galatians 4 : 28 (MKJV)

But brothers, we, like Isaac, are children of promise.

Galatians 4 : 29 (MKJV)

But then even as he born according to flesh persecuted him born according to the Spirit, so it is also now.

Galatians 4 : 30 (MKJV)

But what does the Scripture say? "Cast out the slave-woman and her son; for in no way shall the son of the slave-woman inherit with the son of the free woman."

Galatians 4 : 31 (MKJV)

Then, brothers, we are not children of a slave-woman, but of the free woman.
