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