KJV_Strong : Galatians 4
1. Now[G1161] I say,[G3004] That the[G3588] heir,[G2818] as long as[G3745] he[G5550] is[G2076] a child,[G3516] differeth[G1308] nothing[G3762] from a servant,[G1401] though he be[G5607] lord[G2962] of all;[G3956]
2. But[G235] is[G2076] under[G5259] tutors[G2012] and[G2532] governors[G3623] until[G891] the[G3588] time appointed[G4287] of the[G3588] father.[G3962]
3. Even[G2532] so[G3779] we,[G2249] when[G3753] we were[G2258] children,[G3516] were[G2258] in bondage[G1402] under[G5259] the[G3588] elements[G4747] of the[G3588] world: [G2889]
4. But[G1161] when[G3753] the[G3588] fullness[G4138] of the[G3588] time[G5550] was come,[G2064] God[G2316] sent forth[G1821] his[G848] Son,[G5207] made[G1096] of[G1537] a woman,[G1135] made[G1096] under[G5259] the law,[G3551]
5. To[G2443] redeem[G1805] them[G3588] that were under[G5259] the law,[G3551] that[G2443] we might receive[G618] the[G3588] adoption of sons.[G5206]
6. And[G1161] because[G3754] ye are[G2075] sons,[G5207] God[G2316] hath sent forth[G1821] the[G3588] Spirit[G4151] of his[G848] Son[G5207] into[G1519] your[G5216] hearts,[G2588] crying,[G2896] Abba,[G5] Father.[G3962]
7. Wherefore[G5620] thou art[G1488] no more[G3765] a servant,[G1401] but[G235] a son;[G5207] and[G1161] if[G1487] a son,[G5207] then[G2532] an heir[G2818] of God[G2316] through[G1223] Christ.[G5547]
8. Howbeit[G235] then,[G5119] when[G3303] ye knew[G1492] not[G3756] God,[G2316] ye did service[G1398] unto them which by nature[G5449] are[G5607] no[G3361] gods.[G2316]
9. But[G1161] now,[G3568] after that ye have known[G1097] God,[G2316] or[G1161] rather[G3123] are known[G1097] of[G5259] God,[G2316] how[G4459] turn[G1994] ye again[G3825] to[G1909] the[G3588] weak[G772] and[G2532] beggarly[G4434] elements,[G4747] whereunto[G3739] ye[G3825] desire[G2309] again[G509] to be in bondage?[G1398]
10. Ye observe[G3906] days,[G2250] and[G2532] months,[G3376] and[G2532] times,[G2540] and[G2532] years.[G1763]
11. I am afraid[G5399] of you,[G5209] lest[G3381] I have bestowed upon you labor[G2872] [G1519] [G5209] in vain.[G1500]
12. Brethren,[G80] I beseech[G1189] you,[G5216] be[G1096] as[G5613] I[G1473] am; for[G3754] I[G2504] am as[G5613] ye[G5210] are: ye have not injured me at all.[G3762] [G91] [G3165]
13. Ye[G1161] know[G1492] how[G3754] through[G1223] infirmity[G769] of the[G3588] flesh[G4561] I preached the gospel[G2097] unto you[G5213] at the first.[G4386]
14. And[G2532] my[G3450] temptation[G3986] which[G3588] was in[G1722] my[G3450] flesh[G4561] ye despised[G1848] not,[G3756] nor[G3761] rejected;[G1609] but[G235] received[G1209] me[G3165] as[G5613] an angel[G32] of God,[G2316] even as[G5613] Christ[G5547] Jesus.[G2424]
15. Where[G5101] is[G2258] then[G3767] the[G3588] blessedness[G3108] ye[G5216] spake of? for[G1063] I bear you record,[G3140] [G5213] that,[G3754] if[G1487] it had been possible,[G1415] ye would have plucked out[G1846] [G302] your own[G5216] eyes,[G3788] and have given[G1325] them to me.[G3427]
16. Am I therefore[G5620] become[G1096] your[G5216] enemy,[G2190] because I tell you the truth?[G226] [G5213]
17. They zealously affect[G2206] you,[G5209] but not[G3756] well;[G2573] yea,[G235] they would[G2309] exclude[G1576] you,[G5209] that[G2443] ye might affect[G2206] them.[G846]
18. But[G1161] it is good[G2570] to be zealously affected[G2206] always[G3842] in[G1722] a good[G2570] thing, and[G2532] not[G3361] only[G3440] when I[G3165] am present[G3918] with[G4314] you.[G5209]
19. My[G3450] little children,[G5040] of whom[G3739] I travail in birth[G5605] again[G3825] until[G891] [G3757] Christ[G5547] be formed[G3445] in[G1722] you,[G5213]
20. I[G1161] desire[G2309] to be present[G3918] with[G4314] you[G5209] now,[G737] and[G2532] to change[G236] my[G3450] voice;[G5456] for[G3754] I stand in doubt[G639] of[G1722] you.[G5213]
21. Tell[G3004] me,[G3427] ye that desire[G2309] to be[G1511] under[G5259] the law,[G3551] do ye not[G3756] hear[G191] the[G3588] law?[G3551]
22. For[G1063] it is written,[G1125] that[G3754] Abraham[G11] had[G2192] two[G1417] sons,[G5207] the one[G1520] by[G1537] a bondmaid,[G3814] the[G2532] other[G1520] by[G1537] a freewoman.[G1658]
23. But[G235] he[G3588] [G3303] who was of[G1537] the[G3588] bondwoman[G3814] was born[G1080] after[G2596] the flesh;[G4561] but[G1161] he[G3588] of[G1537] the[G3588] freewoman[G1658] was by[G1223] promise.[G1860]
24. Which things[G3748] are[G2076] an allegory:[G238] for[G1063] these[G3778] are[G1526] the[G3588] two[G1417] covenants;[G1242] the one[G3391] [G3303] from[G575] the mount[G3735] Sinai,[G4614] which engendereth[G1080] to[G1519] bondage,[G1397] which[G3748] is[G2076] Hagar.[G28]
25. For[G1063] this Hagar[G28] is[G2076] mount[G3735] Sinai[G4614] in[G1722] Arabia,[G688] and[G1161] answereth to[G4960] Jerusalem[G2419] which now[G3568] is, and[G1161] is in bondage[G1398] with[G3326] her[G848] children.[G5043]
26. But[G1161] Jerusalem[G2419] which is above[G507] is[G2076] free,[G1658] which[G3748] is[G2076] the mother[G3384] of us[G2257] all.[G3956]
27. For[G1063] it is written,[G1125]
28. Now[G1161] we,[G2249] brethren,[G80] as[G2596] Isaac[G2464] was, are[G2070] the children[G5043] of promise.[G1860]
29. But[G235] as[G5618] then[G5119] he that was born[G1080] after[G2596] the flesh[G4561] persecuted[G1377] him[G3588] that was born after[G2596] the Spirit,[G4151] even[G2532] so[G3779] it is now.[G3568]
30. Nevertheless[G235] what[G5101] saith[G3004] the[G3588] Scripture?[G1124] Cast out[G1544] the[G3588] bondwoman[G3814] and[G2532] her[G846] son:[G5207] for[G1063] the[G3588] son[G5207] of the[G3588] bondwoman[G3814] shall not[G3364] be heir[G2816] with[G3326] the[G3588] son[G5207] of the[G3588] freewoman.[G1658]
31. So then,[G686] brethren,[G80] we are[G2070] not[G3756] children[G5043] of the bondwoman,[G3814] but[G235] of the[G3588] free.[G1658]
