4:1 Now 1161 I say 3004 5719, [That] the heir 2818, as long as 1909 3745 5550 he is 2076 5748 a child 3516, differeth 1308 5719 nothing 3762 from a servant 1401, though he be 5607 5752 lord 2962 of all 3956;

4:2 But 235 is 2076 5748 under 5259 tutors 2012 and 2532 governors 3623 until 891 the time appointed 4287 of the father 3962.

4:3 Even 2532 so 3779 we 2249, when 3753 we were 2258 5713 children 3516, were 2258 5713 in bondage 1402 5772 under 5259 the elements 4747 of the world 2889:(elements: or, rudiments)

4:4 But 1161 when 3753 the fulness 4138 of the time 5550 was come 2064 5627, God 2316 sent forth 1821 5656 his 846 Son 5207, made 1096 5637 of 1537 a woman 1135, made 1096 5637 under 5259 the law 3551,

4:5 To 2443 redeem 1805 5661 them that were under 5259 the law 3551, that 2443 we might receive 618 5632 the adoption of sons 5206.

4:6 And 1161 because 3754 ye are 2075 5748 sons 5207, God 2316 hath sent forth 1821 5656 the Spirit 4151 of his 846 Son 5207 into 1519 your 5216 hearts 2588, crying 2896 5723, Abba 5, Father 3962.

4:7 Wherefore 5620 thou art 1488 5748 no more 3765 a servant 1401, but 235 a son 5207; and 1161 if 1487 a son 5207, then 2532 an heir 2818 of God 2316 through 1223 Christ 5547.

4:8 Howbeit 235 then 5119 3303, when ye knew 1492 5761 not 3756 God 2316, ye did service 1398 5656 unto them which by nature 5449 are 5607 5752 no 3361 gods 2316.

4:9 But 1161 now 3568, after that ye have known 1097 5631 God 2316, or 1161 rather 3123 are known 1097 5685 of 5259 God 2316, how 4459 turn ye 1994 5719 again 3825 to 1909 the weak 772 and 2532 beggarly 4434 elements 4747, whereunto 3739 ye desire 2309 5719 again 3825 509 to be in bondage 1398 5721?(turn ye again: or, turn ye back)(elements: or, rudiments)

4:10 Ye observe 3906 5731 days 2250, and 2532 months 3376, and 2532 times 2540, and 2532 years 1763.

4:11 I am afraid 5399 5736 of you 5209, lest 3381 4458 I have bestowed 2872 0 upon 1519 you 5209 labour 2872 5758 in vain 1500.

4:12 Brethren 80, I beseech 1189 5736 you 5216, be 1096 5737 as 5613 I 1473 [am]; for 3754 I 2504 [am] as 5613 ye 5210 [are]: ye have not injured 91 5656 me 3165 at all 3762.

4:13 1161 Ye know 1492 5758 how 3754 through 1223 infirmity 769 of the flesh 4561 I preached the gospel 2097 5668 unto you 5213 at the first 4386.

4:14 And 2532 my 3450 temptation 3986 which was in 1722 my 3450 flesh 4561 ye despised 1848 5656 not 3756, nor 3761 rejected 1609 5656; but 235 received 1209 5662 me 3165 as 5613 an angel 32 of God 2316, [even] as 5613 Christ 5547 Jesus 2424.

4:15 Where 5101 is 2258 5713 then 3767 the blessedness 3108 ye 5216 spake of? for 1063 I bear 3140 0 you 5213 record 3140 5719, that 3754, if 1487 [it had been] possible 1415, ye would have plucked out 1846 5660 your 5216 own eyes 3788, and have given them 302 1325 5656 to me 3427.(Where…: or, What was then)

4:16 Am I 1096 0 therefore 5620 become 1096 5754 your 5216 enemy 2190, because I tell 226 0 you 5213 the truth 226 5723?

4:17 They zealously affect 2206 5719 you 5209, [but] not 3756 well 2573; yea 235, they would 2309 5719 exclude 1576 5658 you 5209, that 2443 ye might affect 2206 5725 them 846.(exclude you: or, exclude us)

4:18 But 1161 [it is] good 2570 to be zealously affected 2206 5745 always 3842 in 1722 [a] good 2570 [thing], and 2532 not 3361 only 3440 when 1722 I 3165 am present 3918 5750 with 4314 you 5209.

4:19 My 3450 little children 5040, of whom 3739 I travail in birth 5605 5719 again 3825 until 891 3739 Christ 5547 be formed 3445 5686 in 1722 you 5213,

4:20 1161 I desire 2309 5707 to be present 3918 5750 with 4314 you 5209 now 737, and 2532 to change 236 5658 my 3450 voice 5456; for 3754 I stand in doubt 639 5731 of 1722 you 5213.(I stand…: or, I am perplexed for you)(I stand…: or, I am perplexed for you)

4:21 Tell 3004 5720 me 3427, ye that desire 2309 5723 to be 1511 5750 under 5259 the law 3551, do ye 191 0 not 3756 hear 191 5719 the law 3551?

4:22 For 1063 it is written 1125 5769, that 3754 Abraham 11 had 2192 5627 two 1417 sons 5207, the one 1520 by 1537 a bondmaid 3814, 2532 the other 1520 by 1537 a freewoman 1658.

4:23 But 235 he 3303 [who was] of 1537 the bondwoman 3814 was born 1080 5769 after 2596 the flesh 4561; but 1161 he of 1537 the freewoman 1658 [was] by 1223 promise 1860.

4:24 Which things 3748 are 2076 5748 an allegory 238 5746: for 1063 these 3778 are 1526 5748 the two 1417 covenants 1242; the one 3391 3303 from 575 the mount 3735 Sinai 4614, which gendereth 1080 5723 to 1519 bondage 1397, which 3748 is 2076 5748 Agar 28.(covenants: or, testaments)(Sinai: Gr. Sina)

4:25 For 1063 this Agar 28 is 2076 5748 mount 3735 Sinai 4614 in 1722 Arabia 688, and 1161 answereth 4960 5719 to Jerusalem 2419 which 3588 now is 3568, and 1161 is in bondage 1398 5719 with 3326 her 846 children 5043.(answereth to: or, is in the same rank with)

4:26 But 1161 Jerusalem 2419 which is above 507 is 2076 5748 free 1658, which 3748 is 2076 5748 the mother 3384 of us 2257 all 3956.

4:27 For 1063 it is written 1125 5769, Rejoice 2165 5682, [thou] barren 4723 that bearest 5088 5723 not 3756; break forth 4486 5657 and 2532 cry 994 5657, thou that travailest 5605 5723 not 3756: for 3754 the desolate 2048 hath many more 4183 children 5043 than 3123 2228 she which hath 2192 5723 an husband 435.

4:28 Now 1161 we 2249, brethren 80, as 2596 0 Isaac 2464 was 2596, are 2070 5748 the children 5043 of promise 1860.

4:29 But 235 as 5618 then 5119 he that was born 1080 5685 after 2596 the flesh 4561 persecuted 1377 5707 him [that was born] after 2596 the Spirit 4151, even 2532 so 3779 [it is] now 3568.

4:30 Nevertheless 235 what 5101 saith 3004 5719 the scripture 1124? Cast out 1544 5628 the bondwoman 3814 and 2532 her 846 son 5207: for 1063 the son 5207 of the bondwoman 3814 shall 2816 0 not 3364 be heir 2816 5661 with 3326 the son 5207 of the freewoman 1658.

4:31 So then 686, brethren 80, we are 2070 5748 not 3756 children 5043 of the bondwoman 3814, but 235 of the free 1658.
