Galatians 4

1 We were under the Law till Christ came, as the heir is under his guardian till he be of age. 5 But Christ freed us from the Law: 7 therefore we are servants no longer to it. 14 He remembereth their good will to him, and his to them, 22 and sheweth that we are the sons of Abraham by the freewoman.

 4:1 ¶ Now 1161 I say, 3004 z5719 [That] the x3588 heir, 2818 as long as 3745 y1909 y5550 he x5550 is 2076 z5748 a child, 3516 differeth 1308 z5719 nothing 3762 from a servant, 1401 though he be 5607 z5752 lord 2962 of all; 3956

 4:2 But 235 is 2076 z5748 under 5259 tutors 2012 and 2532 governors 3623 until 891 the x3588 time appointed 4287 of the x3588 father. 3962

 4:3 Even 2532 so 3779 we, 2249 when 3753 we were 2258 z5713 children, 3516 were 2258 z5713 in bondage 1402 z5772 under 5259 the x3588 elements 4747 of the x3588 world: 2889

 4:4 But 1161 when 3753 the x3588 fulness 4138 of the x3588 time 5550 was come, 2064 z5627 God 2316 sent forth 1821 z5656 his y846 x848 Son, 5207 made 1096 z5637 of 1537 a woman, 1135 made 1096 z5637 under 5259 the law, 3551

 4:5 To 2443 redeem 1805 z5661 them x3588 that were under 5259 the law, 3551 that 2443 we might receive 618 z5632 the x3588 adoption of sons. 5206

 4:6 And 1161 because 3754 ye are 2075 z5748 sons, 5207 God 2316 hath sent forth 1821 z5656 the x3588 Spirit 4151 of his y846 x848 Son 5207 into 1519 your 5216 hearts, 2588 crying, 2896 z5723 Abba, 5 Father. 3962

 4:7 Wherefore 5620 thou art 1488 z5748 no more 3765 a servant, 1401 but 235 a son; 5207 and 1161 if 1487 a son, 5207 then 2532 an heir 2818 of God 2316 through 1223 Christ. 5547

 4:8 Howbeit 235 then, 5119 y3303 when x3303 ye knew 1492 z5761 not 3756 God, 2316 ye did service 1398 z5656 unto them which by nature 5449 are 5607 z5752 no 3361 gods. 2316

 4:9 But 1161 now, 3568 after that ye have known 1097 z5631 God, 2316 or 1161 rather 3123 are known 1097 z5685 of 5259 God, 2316 how 4459 turn x1994 ye y1994 z5719 again 3825 to 1909 the x3588 weak 772 and 2532 beggarly 4434 elements, 4747 whereunto 3739 ye x3825 desire 2309 z5719 again 509 y3825 to be in bondage? 1398 z5721

 4:10 Ye observe 3906 z5731 days, 2250 and 2532 months, 3376 and 2532 times, 2540 and 2532 years. 1763

 4:11 I am afraid 5399 z5736 of you, 5209 lest 3381 y4458 I have bestowed y2872 z0 upon y1519 you y5209 labour 2872 z5758 x1519 x5209 in vain. 1500

 4:12 Brethren, 80 I beseech 1189 z5736 you, 5216 be 1096 z5737 as 5613 I 1473 [am]; for 3754 I 2504 [am] as 5613 ye 5210 [are]: ye have not injured y91 z5656 me y3165 at all. 3762 x91 x3165

 4:13 y1161 Ye x1161 know 1492 z5758 how 3754 through 1223 infirmity 769 of the x3588 flesh 4561 I preached the gospel 2097 z5668 unto you 5213 at the first. 4386

 4:14 And 2532 my 3450 temptation 3986 which x3588 was in 1722 my 3450 flesh 4561 ye despised 1848 z5656 not, 3756 nor 3761 rejected; 1609 z5656 but 235 received 1209 z5662 me 3165 as 5613 an angel 32 of God, 2316 [even] as 5613 Christ 5547 Jesus. 2424

 4:15 Where 5101 is 2258 z5713 then 3767 the x3588 blessedness y3108 x3107 ye 5216 spake of? for 1063 I bear y3140 z0 you y5213 record, 3140 z5719 x5213 that, 3754 if 1487 [it had been] possible, 1415 ye would have plucked out 1846 z5660 x302 your y5216 own x5216 eyes, 3788 and have given x1325 them y302 y1325 z5656 to me. 3427

 4:16 Am I y1096 z0 therefore 5620 become 1096 z5754 your 5216 enemy, 2190 because I tell y226 z0 you y5213 the truth? 226 z5723 x5213

 4:17 They zealously affect 2206 z5719 you, 5209 [but] not 3756 well; 2573 yea, 235 they would 2309 z5719 exclude 1576 z5658 you, 5209 that 2443 ye might affect 2206 z5725 them. 846

 4:18 But 1161 [it is] good 2570 to be zealously affected 2206 z5745 always 3842 in 1722 [a] good 2570 [thing], and 2532 not 3361 only 3440 when y1722 I 3165 am present 3918 z5750 with 4314 you. 5209

 4:19 My 3450 little children, 5040 of whom 3739 I travail in birth 5605 z5719 again 3825 until 891 y3757 Christ 5547 be formed 3445 z5686 in 1722 you, 5213

 4:20 y1161 I x1161 desire 2309 z5707 to be present 3918 z5750 with 4314 you 5209 now, 737 and 2532 to change 236 z5658 my 3450 voice; 5456 for 3754 I stand in doubt 639 z5731 of 1722 you. 5213

 4:21 Tell 3004 z5720 me, 3427 ye that desire 2309 z5723 to be 1511 z5750 under 5259 the law, 3551 do ye y191 z0 not 3756 hear 191 z5719 the x3588 law? 3551

 4:22 For 1063 it is written, 1125 z5769 that 3754 Abraham 11 had 2192 z5627 two 1417 sons, 5207 the one 1520 by 1537 a bondmaid, 3814 y2532 the x2532 other 1520 by 1537 a freewoman. 1658

 4:23 But 235 he 3303 x3588 [who was] of 1537 the x3588 bondwoman 3814 was born 1080 z5769 after 2596 the flesh; 4561 but 1161 he x3588 of 1537 the x3588 freewoman 1658 [was] by 1223 promise. 1860

 4:24 Which things 3748 are 2076 z5748 an allegory: 238 z5746 for 1063 these 3778 are 1526 z5748 the x3588 two 1417 covenants; 1242 the one 3391 3303 from 575 the mount 3735 Sinai, 4614 which gendereth 1080 z5723 to 1519 bondage, 1397 which 3748 is 2076 z5748 Agar. 28

 4:25 For 1063 this Agar 28 is 2076 z5748 mount 3735 Sinai 4614 in 1722 Arabia, 688 and 1161 answereth y4960 z5719 to x4960 Jerusalem 2419 which y3588 now x3568 is, y3568 and 1161 is in bondage 1398 z5719 with 3326 her y846 x848 children. 5043

 4:26 But 1161 Jerusalem 2419 which is above 507 is 2076 z5748 free, 1658 which 3748 is 2076 z5748 the mother 3384 of us 2257 all. 3956

 4:27 For 1063 it is written, 1125 z5769 Rejoice, 2165 z5682 [thou] barren 4723 that bearest 5088 z5723 not; 3756 break forth 4486 z5657 and 2532 cry, 994 z5657 thou that travailest 5605 z5723 not: 3756 for 3754 the x3588 desolate 2048 hath x2192 many x4183 more y4183 x2123 children 5043 than 2228 y3123 she which hath 2192 z5723 an husband. 435

 4:28 Now 1161 we, 2249 brethren, 80 as 2596 z0 Isaac 2464 was, y2596 are 2070 z5748 the children 5043 of promise. 1860

 4:29 But 235 as 5618 then 5119 he that was born 1080 z5685 after 2596 the flesh 4561 persecuted 1377 z5707 him x3588 [that was born] after 2596 the Spirit, 4151 even 2532 so 3779 [it is] now. 3568

 4:30 Nevertheless 235 what 5101 saith 3004 z5719 the x3588 scripture? 1124 Cast out 1544 z5628 the x3588 bondwoman 3814 and 2532 her 846 son: 5207 for 1063 the x3588 son 5207 of the x3588 bondwoman 3814 shall y2816 z0 not 3364 be heir 2816 z5661 with y3326 x3325 the x3588 son 5207 of the x3588 freewoman. 1658

 4:31 So then, 686 brethren, 80 we are 2070 z5748 not 3756 children 5043 of the bondwoman, 3814 but 235 of the x3588 free. 1658
