Galatians 4

1 ♥ 📝 B ut^G1161 I say^G3004 that so long^G5550 as^G3745 the heir^G1909 is^G2076 a^G5550 child,^G3516 he differeth^G1308 nothing^G3762 from^G1308 a bondservant^G1401 though^G1401 he is lord^G2962 of all;^G3956

2 ♥ 📝 but^G235 is^G2076 under^G5259 guardians^G2012 and^G2532 stewards^G3623 until^G891 the day appointed^G4287 of the father.^G3962

3 ♥ 📝 So^G3779 we^G2249 also, when^G3753 we^G2249 were^G1510 children,^G3516 were^G1510 held in bondage^G1402 under^G5259 the rudiments^G4747 of the world:^G2889

4 ♥ 📝 but^G1161 when^G3753 the fulness^G4138 of the time^G5550 came,^G2064 God^G2316 sent forth^G1821 his^G846 Son,^G5207 born^G1096 of^G1537 a woman,^G1135 born^G1096 under^G5259 the law,^G3551

5 ♥ 📝 that he might redeem^G1805 them^G3588 that were^G2443 under^G5259 the law,^G3551 that^G2443 we might receive^G618 the adoption of sons.^G5206

6 ♥ 📝 And^G1161 because^G3754 ye are^G2075 sons,^G5207 God^G2316 sent forth^G1821 the Spirit^G4151 of his^G846 Son^G5207 into^G1519 our^G5216 hearts,^G2588 crying,^G2896 Abba,^G5 Father.^G3962

7 ♥ 📝 So^G5620 that thou art^G1488 no longer^G3765 a bondservant,^G1401 but^G235 a son;^G5207 and^G1161 if^G1487 a son,^G5207 then^G2532 an heir^{G2818 G2316} through^G1223 God.^G5547

8 ♥ 📝 Howbeit^G235 at that time,^G1492 not^G3756 knowing God,^G2316 ye were in bondage^G1398 to them that^G3588 by nature^G5449 are^G5607 no^G3361 gods:^G2316

9 ♥ 📝 but^G1161 now^G3568 that ye have come to know^G1097 God,^G2316 or^G1161 rather^G3123 to be known^G1097 by^G5259 God,^G2316 how^G4459 turn ye^G1994 back again^G3825 to^G1909 the weak^G772 and^G2532 beggarly^G4434 rudiments,^G4747 whereunto^G3739 ye desire^G2309 to be in bondage^G1398 over^G509 again?^G3825

10 ♥ 📝 Ye observe^G3906 days,^G2250 and^G2532 months,^G3376 and^G2532 seasons,^G2540 and^G2532 years.^G1763

11 ♥ 📝 I am afraid of^G5399 you,^G5209 lest^G3381 by any means I have bestowed^G2872 labor^G2872 upon^G1519 you^G5209 in vain.^G1500

12 ♥ 📝 I beseech^G1189 you,^G5216 brethren,^G80 become^G1096 as^G5613 I^G1473 [am],^G3754 for I^G2504 also [am become] as^G5613 ye^G5210 [are]. Ye did^G91 me^G3165 no^G3762 wrong:^G91

13 ♥ 📝 but ye know^G1492 that^G3754 because^G1161 of^G1223 an infirmity^G769 of the flesh^G4561 I preached the gospel^G2097 unto you^G5213 the first^G4386 time:

14 ♥ 📝 and^G2532 that^G3450 which was^G3588 a temptation^G3986 to you in^G1722 my^G3450 flesh^G4561 ye despised^G1848 not,^G3756 nor^G3761 rejected;^G1609 but^G235 ye received^G1209 me^G3165 as^G5613 an angel^G32 of God,^G2316 [even] as^G5613 Christ^G5547 Jesus.^G2424

15 ♥ 📝 Where^G5101 then^G3767 is^G2258 that^G3754 gratulation^G3108 of^G5216 yourselves? for^G1063 I bear^G3140 you^G5213 witness,^G3140 that,^G3754 if^G1487 possible,^G1415 ye would have plucked out^G1846 your eyes^G302 and given them^G1325 to me.^G3427

16 ♥ 📝 So^G5620 then am I^G1096 become^G1096 your^G5216 enemy,^G2190 by telling^G226 you^G5213 the truth?^G226

17 ♥ 📝 They zealously seek^G2206 you^G5209 in no^G3756 good^G2573 way; nay,^G235 they desire^G2309 to shut you^G5209 out,^G1576 that^G2443 ye may seek^G2206 them.^G846

18 ♥ 📝 But^G1161 it is good^G2570 to be zealously sought^G2206 in^G1722 a good^G2570 matter at all times,^G3842 and^G2532 not^G3361 only^{G3440 G1722} when I^G1722 am present^G3918 with^G4314 you.^G5209

19 ♥ 📝 My^G3450 little children,^G5040 of whom^G3739 I am again^G3825 in travail^G5605 until^{G891 G3739} Christ^G5547 be formed^G3445 in^G1722 you—^G5213

20 ♥ 📝 but I could^G1161 wish^G2309 to be present^G3918 with^G4314 you^G5209 now,^G737 and^G2532 to change^G236 my^G3450 tone;^G5456 for^G3754 I am perplexed^G639 about^G1722 you.^G5213

21 ♥ 📝 Tell^G3004 me,^G3427 ye that^G3588 desire^G2309 to be^G1511 under^G5259 the law,^G3551 do ye^G191 not^G3756 hear^G191 the law?^G3551

22 ♥ 📝 For^G1063 it is written,^G1125 that^G3754 Abraham^G11 had^G2192 two^G1417 sons,^G5207 one^G1520 by^G1537 the handmaid,^G2532 and one^G1520 by^G1537 the freewoman.^G1658

23 ♥ 📝 Howbeit^G235 the [son]^{G3588 G3303} by^G1537 the handmaid^G3814 is born^G1080 after^G2596 the flesh;^G4561 but^G1161 the [son]^G3588 by^G1223 the freewoman^G1658 [is born] through^G1223 promise.^G1860

24 ♥ 📝 Which things^G3748 contain^G2076 an allegory:^G238 for^G1063 these^G3778 [women] are^{G2076 G1242} two^G1417 covenants;^{G1242 G3303} one^G1520 from^G575 mount^G3735 Sinai,^G4614 bearing^G1080 children unto^G1519 bondage,^G1397 which^G3748 is^G2076 Hagar.^G28

25 ♥ 📝 Now^G1063 this^G3588 Hagar^G28 is^G2076 mount^G3735 Sinai^G4614 in^G1722 Arabia^G688 and^G1161 answereth to^G4960 the Jerusalem^G2419 that^G3588 now^G3568 is:^G3588 for^G1161 she is in bondage^G1398 with^G3326 her^G846 children.^G5043

26 ♥ 📝 But^G1161 the Jerusalem^G2419 that is^G3588 above^G507 is^G2076 free,^G1658 which^G3748 is^{G2076 G3956} our^G2257 mother.^G3384

27 ♥ 📝 For^G1063 it is written,^G1125 Rejoice,^G2165 thou barren^G4723 that^G3588 bearest^G5088 not;^G3756 Break forth^G4486 and^G2532 cry,^G994 thou that^G3588 travailest^G5605 not:^G3756 For^{G3754 G4183} more^G4183 are the children^G5043 of^G2048 the desolate than^G2228 of her that^G3588 hath^G2192 the husband.^G435

28 ♥ 📝 Now^G1161 we,^G2249 brethren,^G80 as^G2596 Isaac was,^G2464 are^G2070 children^G5043 of promise.^G1860

29 ♥ 📝 But^G235 as^G5618 then^G5119 he that^G3588 was born^G1080 after^G2596 the flesh^G4561 persecuted^G1377 him^G3588 [that was born] after^G2596 the Spirit,^G4151 so^G3779 also^G2532 it is now.^G3568

30 ♥ 📝 Howbeit^G235 what^G5101 saith^G3004 the scripture?^G1124 Cast out^G1544 the handmaid^G3814 and^G2532 her^G846 son:^G5207 for^G1063 the son^G5207 of the handmaid^G3814 shall^G2816 not^{G3756 G3361} inherit^G2816 with^G3326 the son^G5207 of the freewoman.^G1658

31 ♥ 📝 Wherefore,^G686 brethren,^G80 we are^G2070 not^G3756 children^G5043 of a handmaid,^G3814 but^G235 of the freewoman.^G1658
