Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
And
I say,
so
long time
as the heir is a babe
, he differeth
nothing
from a servant
--
being
lord
of
all
,
What
I am
saying
is
that
as
long as the heir is a child
, he is
no
different
from a slave
, although
he
is
the
owner
of
everything.
but
is under
tutors
and stewards
till
the
time
appointed
of
the father ,
He
is subject
to
guardians
and trustees
until
the date
set
by
his
father .
so also we
, when we were babes
, under the elements
of the world were
in
servitude,
So also, when we were children
, we
were
enslaved
under the basic
principles
of the world .
and
when the fulness
of
time did
come, God sent forth
His Son, come
of a woman, come
under law,
But
when the time had
fully
come, God sent His Son, born
of a woman, born
under the
law,
that
those under law he
may
redeem
, that the
adoption
of
sons
we may
receive ;
to
redeem
those under the
law, that we might
receive our
adoption
as
sons.
and because ye
are sons, God did
send
forth
the spirit of His Son into your
hearts, crying, `
Abba, Father! '
And because you
are sons, God sent
the Spirit of His Son into our
hearts, crying out
, “
Abba, Father! ”
so that
thou
art
no more
a servant
, but a son ,
and if
a son, also an heir of
God
through Christ
.
So you
are
no longer
a slave
, but a son ;
and since
you
are
a son, you
are
also an heir through God
.
But
then,
indeed
, not having
known
God, ye
were in
servitude
to those not
by nature gods ,
Formerly
, when
you
did
not know
God, you
were slaves
to those who
by nature are
not
gods .
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
?
But
now that
you
know
God ,
or
rather are
known by God ,
how is
it
that
you
are
turning
back
to
those
weak and worthless
principles?
Do
you
wish
to be enslaved
by
them
all
over
again
?
days ye
observe,
and months ,
and times,
and years!
You
are
observing
special
days and months and seasons
and years!
I am
afraid
of
you, lest
in vain I
did
labour
toward
you
.
I fear
for
you, that
my
efforts
for
you
may
have
been
in vain.
Become
as
I `am'
--
because
I
also
`am'
as
ye
brethren
, I beseech
you ;
to
me ye
did
no hurt,
I beg
you
, brothers,
become
like
me,
for
I became
like
you .
You
have
done
me no wrong.
and
ye
have
known
that through
infirmity
of the
flesh
I did
proclaim
good
news
to you at
the
first,
You
know
that it
was
because
of an
illness
that
I first
preached
the
gospel
to you .
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 ;
And although
my illness
was
a
trial to
you,
you
did not despise or
reject me.
Instead
, you
welcomed
me
as if
I
were
an
angel
of God ,
as if
I
were
Christ Jesus Himself.
what then was
your happiness
? for I testify to
you,
that if possible, your
eyes
having
plucked
out,
ye
would have given to me ;
What then has
become
of
your blessing
? For I can
testify that ,
if it
were
possible, you
would have torn
out
your
eyes
and
given them
to me .
so
that
your
enemy
have I become ,
being
true
to
you?
Have I now
become your
enemy
by
telling
you the
truth
?
they
are zealous for you --
`yet'
not
well
, but they wish
to shut
us out
, that for
them
ye
may be zealous ;
Those
people
are zealous for you, but not
in
a
good
way.
Instead,
they want
to isolate
you
from
us, so
that you
may be zealous for
them.
and
`
it is '
good to be zealously
regarded,
in
what
is
good,
at all
times
, and not only in
my
being
present
with you ;
Nevertheless,
it is good to be zealous
if
it
serves
a
noble
purpose—
at any
time
, and not only when
I
am
with you .
my little
children, of
whom again
I travail
in birth,
till
Christ may
be
formed in you,
My children, for
whom I am
again
in the
pains
of
childbirth
until
Christ is
formed in you,
and
I was
wishing
to
be present
with you now ,
and to
change my voice
, because I am in
doubt
about you.
how
I wish
I
could
be with you now and change my tone
, because I am perplexed
about you.
Tell me, ye
who are
willing
to be under law,
the law do ye
not hear
?
Tell me, you
who want
to be under the law ,
do you
not understand
what
the
law
says
?
for it hath
been
written ,
that Abraham had two sons, one by the maid-servant,
and one
by the free -
woman ,
For it is
written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave
woman
and the
other
by the free woman .
but
he
who
`is'
of
the maid-servant,
according to flesh hath
been
, and
he
who
`is'
of
the free -
woman ,
through the promise ;
His
son
by
the slave
woman
was
born
according to the
flesh, but
his
son
by
the free woman was
born
through the promise .
which
things are
allegorized
, for these
are
the two covenants :
one ,
indeed,
from mount Sinai ,
to
servitude
bringing
forth,
which
is Hagar ;
These
things serve
as
illustrations
, for the women
represent
two covenants .
One covenant
is
from Mount Sinai and
bears
children
into
slavery:
This
is Hagar .
for
this
Hagar is
mount Sinai in Arabia ,
and doth
correspond
to the Jerusalem that
now
`is'
, and
is in servitude
with her children ,
Now
Hagar stands
for
Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds
to the present-day
Jerusalem, because
she
is in slavery
with her children .
and
the Jerusalem above is the
free -woman
, which
is mother of
us
all,
But
the Jerusalem above is free, and
she
is our
mother .
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. '
For it is
written :
“
Rejoice, O barren woman
, who bears
no
children
; break forth and cry aloud
, you
who have
never
travailed;
because more
are the children of the desolate woman
than of her who
has
a
husband. ”
And
we
, brethren
, as
Isaac, are children of promise ,
Now
you
, brothers
, like
Isaac, are children of promise .
but
as
then
he
who
was
born according
to
the flesh did
persecute
him
according
to
the spirit ,
so
also
now ;
At
that
time,
however,
the
son
born by
the flesh persecuted
the son
born
by
the
Spirit .
It
is
the
same
now .
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;'
But what does
the Scripture
say
? “Expel
the slave
woman
and her son, for the slave
woman’s
son will
never
share
in
the inheritance
with the free woman’s
son.”
then
, brethren
, we are not a
maid-servant's
children, but the free -woman's
.
Therefore
, brothers
, we are not children of
the
slave
woman
, but of
the free woman
.
