Galatians 4

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:1 - Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:2 - But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:3 - Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:4 - But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:5 - To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:6 - And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:7 - Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:8 - Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:9 - 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?
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:10 - Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:11 - I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:12 - Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:13 - Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:14 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:15 - Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:16 - Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:17 - They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:18 - But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:19 - My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:20 - I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.

Bond and Free

(Gen 21:8–21; Isa 54:1 )
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:21 - Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:22 - For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:23 - But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:24 - Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:25 - For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:26 - But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:27 - For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:28 - Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:29 - But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:30 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:31 - So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:11 - And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:12 - I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:13 - For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:12 - As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:13 - For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:14 - But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
