1
Now
I say,
as long
as the heir
is a child,
he does not differ
at all
from a slave
although he is owner
of everything,
2
but he is under
guardians
and managers
until
the date set
by the father.
3
So
also
we, while
we were children,
were held in bondage
under
the elemental things
of the world.
4
But when
the fullness
of the time
came,
God
sent forth
His Son,
born
of a woman,
born
under
the Law,
5
so
that He might redeem
those
who were under
the Law,
that we might receive
the adoption as
so
ns.
6
Because
you are sons,
God
has sent forth
the Spirit
of His Son
into our hearts,
crying,
"Abba!
Father!"
7
Therefore
you are no longer
a slave,
but a son;
and if
a son,
then
an heir
through
God.
8
However
at that time,
when you did not know
God,
you were slaves
to those
which by nature
are no
gods.
9
But now
that you have come to know
God,
or
rather
to be known
by
God,
how
is it that you turn back
again
to the weak
and w
or
thless
elemental things,
to which
you desire
to be enslaved
all over
again
?
10
You observe
days
and months
and seasons
and years.
11
I fear
for you, that perhaps
I have labored
over
you in vain.
12
I beg
of you, brethren,
become
as I am, for I also
have
become
as you are. You have done
me no
wrong;
13
but you know
that it was because
of a bodily
illness
that I preached the gospel
to you the first time;
14
and that which was a trial
to you in my bodily condition
you did not despise
or
loathe,
but you received
me as an angel
of God,
as Christ
Jesus
Himself.
15
Where
then
is that sense of blessing
you had? For I bear you witness
that, if
possible,
you would have plucked
out your eyes
and given
them to me.
16
So
have I become
your enemy
by telling you the truth?
17
They eagerly
seek
you, not commendably,
but they wish
to shut
you out so
that you will
seek
them.
18
But it is good
always
to be eagerly sought
in a commendable manner,
and not only
when
I am present
with you.
19
My children,
with whom
I am
again
in labor
until
Christ
is formed
in you--
20
but I could wish
to be present
with you now
and to change
my tone,
for I am perplexed
about
you.
21
Tell
me, you who want
to be under
law,
do you not listen
to the law?
22
For it is written
that Abraham
had
two
sons,
one
by the bondwoman
and
one
by the free woman.
23
But the son by the bondwoman
was born
according
to the flesh,
and the son by the free woman
through
the promise.
24
This
is allegorically speaking,
for these
women are two
covenants:
one
proceeding from Mount
Sinai
bearing children
who are to be slaves;
she is Hagar.
25
Now
this
Hagar
is Mount
Sinai
in Arabia
and corresponds
to the present
Jerusalem,
for she is in slavery
with her children.
26
But the Jerusalem
above
is free;
she is our mother.
27
For it is written,
"REJOICE,
BARREN WOMAN
WHO DOES NOT BEAR;
BREAK FORTH
AND SHOUT,
YOU WHO ARE NOT IN LABOR;
FOR MORE NUMEROUS
ARE THE CHILDREN
OF THE DESOLATE
THAN
OF THE ONE WHO HAS
A HUSBAND."
28
And you brethren,
like
Isaac,
are children
of promise.
29
But as at that time
he who was born
according
to the flesh
persecuted
him who was born
according
to the Spirit,
so
it is now
al
so
.
30
But what
does the Scripture
say?
"CAST
OUT THE BONDWOMAN
AND HER SON,
FOR THE SON
OF THE BONDWOMAN
SHALL NOT BE AN HEIR
WITH THE SON
OF THE FREE WOMAN."
31
So then,
brethren,
we are not children
of a bondwoman,
but of the free woman.
