Galatians 4:1

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

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

Galatians 4:3

So we also, when we were children, were serving under the elements of the world.

Galatians 4:7

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

Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then 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 then indeed, not knowing God, you served them, who, by nature, are not gods.

Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no 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, 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, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

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?

And you know, how through infirmity of the flesh, I preached the gospel to you heretofore: and your temptation in my flesh,

Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto 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

You despised not, nor rejected: but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me 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!

Galatians 4:15

Where is then your blessedness? For I bear you witness, that, if it could be done, you would have plucked out your own eyes, and would have given them to me.

But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, 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

Galatians 4:19

My little children, of whom I am in labour again, until Christ 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

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.

But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by 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 are said by an allegory. For these are the two testaments. The one from mount Sina, engendering unto bondage; which is Agar:

Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.

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

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

For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage 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 Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

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

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 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."

Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

But you, brethren, like Isaac, are children born in fulfilment of a 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 then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born 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.

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.

Nevertheless 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 freewoman.

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 then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman, but of the free: by the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free.

So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

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