King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Now
I say, That
the
heir,
as
long as he
is a child
, differeth nothing from a servant ,
though
he
be
lord of all ;
And
I say, so
long time
as the
heir
is a babe
, he
differeth nothing from a servant --
being
lord of all ,
But is under tutors and governors
until
the time appointed of the father .
but is under tutors and stewards
till
the time appointed of the father ,
Even
so we, when we were children
, were
in
bondage
under the elements of the world :
so also
we, when we were babes
, under the elements of the world were
in
servitude,
But
when the fulness of the
time was
come, God sent forth his Son, made
of a woman, made
under the
law,
and
when the fulness of time did
come, God sent forth His Son, come
of a woman, come
under law,
To
redeem
them
that were
under the
law, that we
might
receive
the adoption of sons .
that those
under law he
may
redeem
, that the adoption of sons we
may
receive;
And because ye are sons, God hath
sent
forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father .
and because ye are sons, God did
send
forth the spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, `
Abba, Father !'
Wherefore
thou art no more a servant, but a son ;
and if a son, then
an heir of God through Christ.
so
that
thou art no more a servant, but a son ,
and if a son, also
an heir of God through Christ.
Howbeit
then, when
ye
knew
not God, ye did
service
unto
them
which
by nature are
no
gods .
But
then, indeed,
not having
known
God, ye were
in
servitude
to
those
not
by nature gods ,
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
?
and
now, having
known God --
and
rather being
known by
God --
how turn ye again unto
the weak and poor
elements to
which
anew
ye desire to be in servitude
?
Ye observe days
, and months, and times, and years .
days
ye observe, and months, and times, and years !
I am afraid of you, lest I
have
bestowed
upon
you
labour
in vain.
I am afraid of you, lest in vain I
did
labour
toward
you
.
Brethren,
I
beseech
you,
be
as I am ;
for
I am as ye are:
ye
have
not
injured
me at
all.
Become
as I `
am '
--
because
I also
`
am '
as ye brethren,
I
beseech
you;
to
me ye
did
no
hurt,
Ye know
how
through infirmity of the flesh I preached
the
gospel
unto
you at the first .
and
ye have
known
that
through infirmity of the flesh I did
proclaim
good
news
to
you at the first ,
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 my trial
that
`is'
in my flesh ye did
not despise
nor reject,
but as a
messenger
of God ye
did
receive
me
--
as Christ Jesus ;
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 .
what
then was
your
happiness
? for I testify
to
you, that if possible, your eyes having
plucked
out
, ye
would
have given to me ;
Am
I
therefore
become
your enemy ,
because
I tell
you the
truth
?
so
that
your enemy have
I become,
being
true
to
you?
They zealously
affect
you ,
but
not well ;
yea
, they would
exclude
you
, that ye
might
affect
them .
they are
zealous
for
you --
`yet'
not well, but
they wish
to
shut
us
out
, that for
them ye
may
be
zealous;
But
it is good to be zealously affected
always
in a
good thing
, and not only when
I
am
present with you .
and
`
it is '
good to be zealously regarded,
in what
is
good, at
all
times,
and not only in
my
being
present with you ;
My little children, of whom I travail in birth again
until
Christ be formed in you,
my little children, of whom again
I travail in birth ,
till
Christ may
be formed in you,
I desire
to be present with you now, and to change my voice ;
for
I stand
in doubt of
you.
and
I was
wishing
to be present with you now, and to change my voice ,
because
I am
in doubt about
you.
Tell me, ye that
desire
to be under the
law, do ye not hear the
law
?
Tell me, ye who
are
willing
to be under law, the
law
do ye not hear?
For it is
written, that Abraham had two sons, the
one by a
bondmaid,
the other
by a
freewoman.
for it hath
been
written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the maid-servant,
and
one
by the
free-woman,
But he who was
of the bondwoman
was
born
after
the
flesh ;
but
he of the freewoman
was
by
promise .
but he who `is'
of the maid-servant,
according
to
flesh hath
been,
and
he who
`is'
of the free-woman,
through
the
promise ;
Which things are an
allegory:
for these are the two covenants ;
the
one from the
mount Sinai, which
gendereth
to bondage
, which is Agar.
which things are allegorized,
for these are the two covenants :
one ,
indeed,
from mount Sinai, to servitude
bringing
forth
, which is Hagar;
For this Agar
is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth
to Jerusalem which
now is, and is in bondage
with her children .
for this Hagar
is mount Sinai in Arabia, and doth
correspond
to the
Jerusalem that
now `
is '
, and is in servitude
with her children ,
But
Jerusalem which
is
above is free, which is the
mother of us all .
and
the
Jerusalem above is the
free -woman
, which is mother of us all ,
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.
for it hath
been
written, `
Rejoice, O
barren ,
who
art
not bearing
; break forth and cry, thou who
art
not travailing,
because
many
`are'
the children
of
the
desolate --
more than of
her
having
the
husband. '
Now
we, brethren, as Isaac was
, are the
children of promise .
And
we, brethren, as Isaac, are children of promise ,
But as then he that
was born after
the flesh persecuted
him that
was
born
after
the Spirit, even
so it
is
now .
but as then he who
was born according
to
the flesh did
persecute
him according
to
the spirit, so also
now ;
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 saith the Writing
? `
Cast forth
the maid-servant
and her son ,
for the son of the maid-servant
may
not be heir with the son of the free-woman;'
So
then, brethren, we are not children of
the
bondwoman
, but of
the free.
then, brethren, we are not a
maid-servant's
children, but the free -woman's
.
