Now I say, As long as the heir is a child, he differs nothing from a bondman, though he be lord of all;

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 then indeed, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods;

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

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

Galatians 4:9

but now, knowing God, but rather being known by God, how do ye turn again to the weak and beggarly principles to which ye desire to be again anew in bondage?

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 my temptation, which [was] in my flesh, ye did not slight nor reject with contempt; but ye received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.

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 an allegorical sense; for these are two covenants: one from mount Sinai, gendering to bondage, which is Hagar.

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.

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

For Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which [is] now, for she is in bondage with her children;

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 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, 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

But *ye*, brethren, after the pattern of Isaac, are children of promise.

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

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

Galatians 4:29

But as then he that was born according to flesh persecuted him [that was born] according to Spirit, so also [it is] now.

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 persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.

Galatians 4:30

But what says the scripture? Cast out the maid servant and her son; for the son of the maid servant shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.

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.

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 then, brethren, we are not maid servant's children, but [children] of the free woman.

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

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