Galatians 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 ; Copy 2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father . Copy 3 Even so we , when we were children , were in bondage under the elements of the world : Copy 4 But when the fulness of the time was come , God sent forth his Son , made of a woman , made under the law , Copy 5 To redeem them that were under the law , that we might receive the adoption of sons . Copy 6 And because ye are sons , God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts , crying , Abba , Father . Copy 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant , but a son ; and if a son , then an heir of God through Christ . Copy 8 Howbeit then , when ye knew not God , ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods . Copy 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 ? Copy 10 Ye observe days , and months , and times , and years . Copy 11 I am afraid of you , lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain . Copy 12 Brethren , I beseech you , be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all. Copy 13 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first . Copy 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 . Copy 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 . Copy 16 Am I therefore become your enemy , because I tell you the truth ? Copy 17 They zealously affect you , but not well ; yea , they would exclude you , that ye might affect them . Copy 18 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you . Copy 19 My little children , of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you , Copy 20 I desire to be present with you now , and to change my voice ; for I stand in doubt of you . Copy 21 Tell me , ye that desire to be under the law , do ye not hear the law ? Copy 22 For it is written , that Abraham had two sons , the one by a bondmaid , the other by a freewoman . Copy 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh ; but he of the freewoman was by promise . Copy 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 . Copy 25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia , and answereth to Jerusalem which now is , and is in bondage with her children . Copy 26 But Jerusalem which is above is free , which is the mother of us all . Copy 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 . Copy 28 Now we , brethren , as Isaac was , are the children of promise . Copy 29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit , even so it is now . Copy 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 . Copy 31 So then , brethren , we are not children of the bondwoman , but of the free . Copy
