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;

And I say, so long time as the heir is a babe, he differeth nothing from a servant being 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,

Galatians 4:2

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

but is under tutors and stewards till the time appointed of the father,

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

Galatians 4:3

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

so also we, when we were babes, under the elements of the world were in servitude,

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

Galatians 4:4

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

and when the fulness of time did come, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law,

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

that those under law he may redeem, that the adoption of sons we may receive;

in order to purchase the freedom of all who were subject to Law, so that we might receive recognition as 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 ye are sons, God did send forth the spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, `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!"

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.

so that thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.

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

Galatians 4:8

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

But then, indeed, not having known God, ye were in servitude to those not by nature gods,

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

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?

and now, having known God and rather being known by God how turn ye again unto the weak and poor elements to which anew ye desire to be in servitude?

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?

Galatians 4:10

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

days ye observe, and months, and times, and years!

You scrupulously observe days and months, special 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 afraid of you, lest in vain I did labour toward you.

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

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;

Become as I [am] because I also [am] as ye brethren, I beseech you; to me ye did no hurt,

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

Galatians 4:13

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

and ye have known that through infirmity of the flesh I did proclaim good news to you at the first,

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

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 my trial that [is] in my flesh ye did not despise nor reject, but as a messenger of God ye did receive me 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!

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.

what then was your happiness? for I testify to you, that if possible, your eyes having plucked out, ye would have given 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.

Galatians 4:16

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

so that your enemy have I become, being true to you?

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

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.

they are zealous for you [yet] not well, but they wish to shut us out, that for them ye may be zealous;

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

and [it is] good to be zealously regarded, in what is good, at all times, and not only in my being 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

Galatians 4:19

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

my little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you,

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

Galatians 4:20

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

and I was wishing to be present with you now, and to change my voice, because I am in doubt about you.

Would that I were with you and could 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, ye who are willing to be under law, the law do ye not hear?

Tell me you who want to continue to be subject to Law will you not 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 hath been written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the maid-servant, 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.

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 he who [is] of the maid-servant, according to flesh hath been, and he who [is] of the free-woman, through the promise;

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.

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.

which things are allegorized, for these are the two covenants: one, indeed, from mount Sinai, to servitude bringing forth, 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.

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.

for this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and doth correspond to the Jerusalem that now [is], and is in servitude 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.

Galatians 4:26

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

and the Jerusalem above is the free-woman, which is mother of us all,

But the Jerusalem which is above is free, and *she* 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 hath been written, `Rejoice, O barren, who art not bearing; break forth and cry, thou who art not travailing, because many [are] the children of the desolate more than of her having the 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."

Galatians 4:28

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

And we, brethren, as Isaac, are children of promise,

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

but as then he who was born according to the flesh did persecute him according to the spirit, so also 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.

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 saith the Writing? `Cast forth the maid-servant and her son, for the son of the maid-servant may not be heir 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."

Galatians 4:31

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

then, brethren, we are not a maid-servant`s children, but the free-woman`s.

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