Now
I
say,
[That]
the
heir,
as
long
as
he
is
a
child,
differeth
nothing
from
a
servant,
though
he
be
lord
of
all;
2
But
is
under
tutors
and
governors
until
the
time
appointed
of
the
father.
3
Even
so
we,
when
we
were
children,
were
in
bondage
under
the
elements
of
the
world:
4
But
when
the
fulness
of
the
time
was
come,
God
sent
forth
his
Son,
made
of
a
woman,
made
under
the
law,
5
To
redeem
them
that
were
under
the
law,
that
we
might
receive
the
adoption
of
sons.
6
And
because
ye
are
sons,
God
hath
sent
forth
the
Spirit
of
his
Son
into
your
hearts,
crying,
Abba,
Father.
7
Wherefore
thou
art
no
more
a
servant,
but
a
son;
and
if
a
son,
then
an
heir
of
God
through
Christ.
8
Howbeit
then,
when
ye
knew
not
God,
ye
did
service
unto
them
which
by
nature
are
no
gods.
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?
10
Ye
observe
days,
and
months,
and
times,
and
years.
11
I
am
afraid
of
you,
lest
I
have
bestowed
upon
you
labour
in
vain.
12
Brethren,
I
beseech
you,
be
as
I
[am];
for
I
[am]
as
ye
[are]:
ye
have
not
injured
me
at
all.
13
Ye
know
how
through
infirmity
of
the
flesh
I
preached
the
gospel
unto
you
at
the
first.
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.
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
16
Am
I
therefore
become
your
enemy,
because
I
tell
you
the
truth?
17
They
zealously
affect
you,
[but]
not
well;
yea,
they
would
exclude
you,
that
ye
might
affect
them.
18
But
[it
is]
good
to
be
zealously
affected
always
in
[a]
good
[thing],
and
not
only
when
I
am
present
with
you.
19
My
little
children,
of
whom
I
travail
in
birth
again
until
Christ
be
formed
in
you,
20
I
desire
to
be
present
with
you
now,
and
to
change
my
voice;
for
I
stand
in
doubt
of
you.
21
Tell
me,
ye
that
desire
to
be
under
the
law,
do
ye
not
hear
the
law?
22
For
it
is
written,
that
Abraham
had
two
sons,
the
one
by
a
bondmaid,
the
other
by
a
freewoman.
23
But
he
[who
was]
of
the
bondwoman
was
born
after
the
flesh;
but
he
of
the
freewoman
[was]
by
promise.
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.
25
For
this
Agar
is
mount
Sinai
in
Arabia,
and
answereth
to
Jerusalem
which
now
is,
and
is
in
bondage
with
her
children.
26
But
Jerusalem
which
is
above
is
free,
which
is
the
mother
of
us
all.
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.
28
Now
we,
brethren,
as
Isaac
was,
are
the
children
of
promise.
29
But
as
then
he
that
was
born
after
the
flesh
persecuted
him
[that
was
born]
after
the
Spirit,
even
so
[it
is]
now.
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.
31
So
then,
brethren,
we
are
not
children
of
the
bondwoman,
but
of
the
free.
