Galatians 4 : 1 (YLT)

And I say, so long time as the heir is a babe, he differeth nothing from a servant -- being lord of all,

Galatians 4 : 2 (YLT)

but is under tutors and stewards till the time appointed of the father,

Galatians 4 : 3 (YLT)

so also we, when we were babes, under the elements of the world were in servitude,

Galatians 4 : 4 (YLT)

and when the fulness of time did come, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law,

Galatians 4 : 5 (YLT)

that those under law he may redeem, that the adoption of sons we may receive;

Galatians 4 : 6 (YLT)

and because ye are sons, God did send forth the spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, `Abba, Father!`

Galatians 4 : 7 (YLT)

so that thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.

Galatians 4 : 8 (YLT)

But then, indeed, not having known God, ye were in servitude to those not by nature gods,

Galatians 4 : 9 (YLT)

and now, having known God -- and rather being known by God -- how turn ye again unto the weak and poor elements to which anew ye desire to be in servitude?

Galatians 4 : 10 (YLT)

days ye observe, and months, and times, and years!

Galatians 4 : 11 (YLT)

I am afraid of you, lest in vain I did labour toward you.

Galatians 4 : 12 (YLT)

Become as I [am] -- because I also [am] as ye brethren, I beseech you; to me ye did no hurt,

Galatians 4 : 13 (YLT)

and ye have known that through infirmity of the flesh I did proclaim good news to you at the first,

Galatians 4 : 14 (YLT)

and my trial that [is] in my flesh ye did not despise nor reject, but as a messenger of God ye did receive me -- as Christ Jesus;

Galatians 4 : 15 (YLT)

what then was your happiness? for I testify to you, that if possible, your eyes having plucked out, ye would have given to me;

Galatians 4 : 16 (YLT)

so that your enemy have I become, being true to you?

Galatians 4 : 17 (YLT)

they are zealous for you -- [yet] not well, but they wish to shut us out, that for them ye may be zealous;

Galatians 4 : 18 (YLT)

and [it is] good to be zealously regarded, in what is good, at all times, and not only in my being present with you;

Galatians 4 : 19 (YLT)

my little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you,

Galatians 4 : 20 (YLT)

and I was wishing to be present with you now, and to change my voice, because I am in doubt about you.

Galatians 4 : 21 (YLT)

Tell me, ye who are willing to be under law, the law do ye not hear?

Galatians 4 : 22 (YLT)

for it hath been written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the maid-servant, and one by the free-woman,

Galatians 4 : 23 (YLT)

but he who [is] of the maid-servant, according to flesh hath been, and he who [is] of the free-woman, through the promise;

Galatians 4 : 24 (YLT)

which things are allegorized, for these are the two covenants: one, indeed, from mount Sinai, to servitude bringing forth, which is Hagar;

Galatians 4 : 25 (YLT)

for this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and doth correspond to the Jerusalem that now [is], and is in servitude with her children,

Galatians 4 : 26 (YLT)

and the Jerusalem above is the free-woman, which is mother of us all,

Galatians 4 : 27 (YLT)

for it hath been written, `Rejoice, O barren, who art not bearing; break forth and cry, thou who art not travailing, because many [are] the children of the desolate -- more than of her having the husband.`

Galatians 4 : 28 (YLT)

And we, brethren, as Isaac, are children of promise,

Galatians 4 : 29 (YLT)

but as then he who was born according to the flesh did persecute him according to the spirit, so also now;

Galatians 4 : 30 (YLT)

but what saith the Writing? `Cast forth the maid-servant and her son, for the son of the maid-servant may not be heir with the son of the free-woman;`

Galatians 4 : 31 (YLT)

then, brethren, we are not a maid-servant`s children, but the free-woman`s.
