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

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;

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;

Therefore now he is not a servant, but a son. And if a son, an heir also through God.

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

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, you served them, 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, after that you have known God, or rather are known by God: how turn you again to the weak and needy elements, which you desire to serve again?

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?

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 4:22

For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, and the other by a free woman.

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 handmaid, and one by the free woman.

Galatians 4:23

But he who was of the bondwoman, was born according to the flesh: but he of the free woman, was by promise.

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.

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 are said by an allegory. For these are the two testaments. The one from mount Sina, engendering unto bondage; which is Agar:

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.

Galatians 4:25

For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is, and 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.

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 4:27

For it is written: Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not: break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband.

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

Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the 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 the flesh, persecuted him that was after the 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 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 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 the children of the bondwoman, but of the free: by the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free.

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.
