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