Galatians 4:1

But I say that as long as the son is a child, he is in no way different from a servant, though he is lord of all;

Now I say that so long as an heir is a child, he in no respect differs from a slave, although he is the owner of everything,

But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all;

Galatians 4:2

But is under keepers and managers till the time fixed by the father.

but he is under the control of guardians and trustees until the time his father has appointed.

but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.

Galatians 4:3

So we, when we were young, were kept under the first rules of the world;

So we also, when spiritually we were children, were subject to the world's rudimentary notions, and were enslaved.

So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elements of the world.

Galatians 4:4

But when the time had come, God sent out his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

But, when the time was fully come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born subject to Law,

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,

Galatians 4:5

That he might make them free who were under the law, and that we might be given the place of sons.

in order to purchase the freedom of all who were subject to Law, so that we might receive recognition as sons.

that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

Galatians 4:6

And because you are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, saying, Abba, Father.

And because you are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of His Son to enter your hearts and cry "Abba! our Father!"

Because you are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"

Galatians 4:7

So that you are no longer a servant, but a son; and if a son, then the heritage of God is yours.

Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir also through God's own act.

So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Galatians 4:8

But at that time, having no knowledge of God, you were servants to those who by right are no gods:

But at one time, you Gentiles, having no knowledge of God, were slaves to gods which in reality do not exist.

However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are no gods.

Galatians 4:9

But now that you have come to have knowledge of God, or more truly, God has knowledge of you, how is it that you go back again to the poor and feeble first things, desiring to be servants to them again?

Now, however, having come to know God or rather to be known by Him how is it you are again turning back to weak and worthless rudimentary notions to which you are once more willing to be enslaved?

But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elements, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?

Galatians 4:10

You keep days, and months, and fixed times, and years.

You scrupulously observe days and months, special seasons, and years.

You observe days, months, seasons, and years.

Galatians 4:11

I am in fear of you, that I may have been working for you to no purpose.

I am alarmed about you, and am afraid that I have perhaps bestowed labour upon you to no purpose.

I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.

Galatians 4:12

My desire for you, brothers, is that you may be as I am, because I am as you are. You have done me no wrong;

Brethren, become as I am, I beseech you; for I have also become like you. In no respect did you behave badly to me.

I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong,

Galatians 4:13

But you have knowledge that with a feeble body I was preaching the good news to you the first time;

And you know that in those early days it was on account of bodily infirmity that I proclaimed the Good News to you,

but you know that because of weakness of the flesh I preached the gospel to you the first time.

Galatians 4:14

And you did not have a poor opinion of me because of the trouble in my flesh, or put shame on it; but you took me to your hearts as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

and yet the bodily infirmity which was such a trial to you, you did not regard with contempt or loathing, but you received me as if I had been an angel of God or Christ Jesus Himself!

That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn't despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

Galatians 4:15

Where then is that happy condition of yours? because I give you witness, that, if possible, you would have taken out your eyes and given them to me.

I ask you, then, what has become of your self-congratulations? For I bear you witness that had it been possible you would have torn out your own eyes and have given them to me.

What has become of the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.

Galatians 4:16

So then am I no longer your friend, because I give you true words?

Can it be that I have become your enemy through speaking the truth to you?

So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?

Galatians 4:17

Their interest in you is not good; but their desire is that you may be shut out, so that you may go after them.

These men pay court to you, but not with honourable motives. They want to exclude you, so that you may pay court to them.

They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate you, that you may seek them.

Galatians 4:18

But it is good to have an interest in a good cause at all times, and not only when I am present with you.

It is always an honourable thing to be courted in an honourable cause; always, and not only when I am with you, my children

But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.

Galatians 4:19

My children, of whom I am again in birth-pains till Christ is formed in you,

you for whom I am again, as it were, undergoing the pains of childbirth, until Christ is fully formed within you.

My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you

Galatians 4:20

Truly my desire is to be present with you now, using a changed voice; for I am troubled about you.

Would that I were with you and could change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

Galatians 4:21

Say, you whose desire it is to be under the law, do you not give ear to the law?

Tell me you who want to continue to be subject to Law will you not listen to the Law?

Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don't you listen to the law?

Galatians 4:22

Because it is in the Writings, that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant-woman, and one by the free woman.

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave-girl and one by the free woman.

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the handmaid, and one by the free woman.

Galatians 4:23

Now the son by the servant-woman has his birth after the flesh; but the son by the free woman has his birth through the undertaking of God.

But we see that the child of the slave-girl was born in the common course of nature; but the child of the free woman in fulfilment of the promise.

However, the son by the handmaid was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.

Galatians 4:24

Which things have a secret sense; because these women are the two agreements; one from the mountain of Sinai, giving birth to servants, which is Hagar.

All this is allegorical; for the women represent two Covenants. One has its origin on Mount Sinai, and bears children destined for slavery.

These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.

Galatians 4:25

Now this Hagar is the mountain Sinai in Arabia, and is the image of the Jerusalem which now is: which is a servant with her children.

This is Hagar; for the name Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, which is in bondage together with her children.

Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.

Galatians 4:26

But the Jerusalem on high is free, which is our mother.

But the Jerusalem which is above is free, and *she* is *our* mother.

But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother.

Galatians 4:27

For it is in the Writings, You who have never given birth, be glad; give cries of joy, you who have had no birth-pains; for the children of her who has been given up by her husband are more than those of the woman who has a husband.

For it is written, "Rejoice, thou barren woman that bearest not, break forth into a joyful cry, thou that dost not travail with child. For the desolate woman has many children more indeed than she who has the husband."

For it is written, "Rejoice, you barren who don't bear. Break forth and shout, you that don't travail. For more are the children of the desolate than of her who has the husband."

Galatians 4:28

Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are the children of the undertaking of God.

But you, brethren, like Isaac, are children born in fulfilment of a promise.

Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.

Galatians 4:29

But as in those days he who had birth after the flesh was cruel to him who had birth after the Spirit, even so it is now.

Yet just as, at that time, the child born in the common course of nature persecuted the one whose birth was due to the power of the Spirit, so it is now.

But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.

Galatians 4:30

What then do the Writings say? Send away the servant-woman and her son; for the son of the servant-woman will not have a part in the heritage with the son of the free woman.

But what says the Scripture? "Send away the slave-girl and her son, for never shall the slave-girl's son share the inheritance with the son of the free woman."

However what does the scripture say? "Throw out the handmaid and her son, for the son of the handmaid will not inherit with the son of the free woman."

Galatians 4:31

So, brothers, we are not children of the servant-woman, but of the free woman.

Therefore, brethren, since we are not the children of a slave-girl, but of the free woman

Therefore, brothers, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the free woman.
