1 Now|strong="G1161" I|strong="G1161" say|strong="G3004" that|strong="G3588" as|strong="G3745" long|strong="G5550" as|strong="G3745" the|strong="G3956" heir|strong="G2818" is|strong="G1510" a|strong="G1510" child|strong="G3516", he|strong="G1161" differs|strong="G1308" in|strong="G1909" no|strong="G3762" way|strong="G3956" from|strong="G3588" a|strong="G1510" slave|strong="G1401", though|strong="G1161" he|strong="G1161" is|strong="G1510" the|strong="G3956" master|strong="G2962" of|strong="G2962" all|strong="G3956".
2 But|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510" under|strong="G5259" guardians|strong="G2012" and|strong="G2532" stewards|strong="G3623" until|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" time appointed|strong="G4287" by|strong="G5259" his|strong="G2532" father|strong="G3962".
3 In|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" same|strong="G3779" way|strong="G3779" also|strong="G2532", when|strong="G3753" we|strong="G2249" were|strong="G1510" children|strong="G3516", we|strong="G2249" were|strong="G1510" enslaved|strong="G1402" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" elements|strong="G4747" of|strong="G5259" the|strong="G2532" world|strong="G2889".
4 But|strong="G1161" when|strong="G3753" the|strong="G1537" fullness|strong="G4138" of|strong="G1537" time|strong="G5550" came|strong="G2064", God|strong="G2316" sent|strong="G1821" his|strong="G5259" Son|strong="G5207", born|strong="G1096" of|strong="G1537" a|strong="G1096" woman|strong="G1135", born|strong="G1096" under|strong="G5259" the|strong="G1537" law|strong="G3551",
5 to|strong="G2443" redeem|strong="G1805" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" were|strong="G3588" under|strong="G5259" the|strong="G3588" law|strong="G3551", so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G2443" we|strong="G2443" might receive adoption|strong="G5206" as|strong="G5206" sons|strong="G5206".
6 And|strong="G1161" because|strong="G3754" you|strong="G3754" are|strong="G1510" sons|strong="G5207", God|strong="G2316" has|strong="G2316" sent|strong="G1821" the|strong="G1519" Spirit|strong="G4151" of|strong="G5207" his|strong="G1519" Son|strong="G5207" into|strong="G1519" your|strong="G3588" hearts|strong="G2588", crying|strong="G2896" out|strong="G2896", “Abba! Father|strong="G3962"!”
7 So|strong="G2532" yoʋ are|strong="G1510" no|strong="G3765" longer|strong="G3765" a|strong="G2532" slave|strong="G1401", but|strong="G1161" a|strong="G2532" son|strong="G5207". And|strong="G2532" if|strong="G1487" yoʋ are|strong="G1510" a|strong="G2532" son|strong="G5207", yoʋ are|strong="G1510" also|strong="G2532" an|strong="G2532" heir|strong="G2818" of|strong="G5207" God|strong="G2316" through|strong="G1223" Christ.
8 At|strong="G3756" that|strong="G3588" time|strong="G5119", however|strong="G3303", when|strong="G1492" you|strong="G1510" did|strong="G1492" not|strong="G3756" know|strong="G1492" God|strong="G2316", you|strong="G1510" were|strong="G1510" enslaved|strong="G1398" to|strong="G3756" beings that|strong="G3588" by|strong="G3361" nature|strong="G5449" are|strong="G1510" not|strong="G3756" gods|strong="G2316".
9 But|strong="G1161" now|strong="G1161" that|strong="G3739" you|strong="G3739" have|strong="G2309" come|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" know|strong="G1097" God|strong="G2316", or|strong="G2532" rather|strong="G3123" to|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" known|strong="G1097" by|strong="G5259" God|strong="G2316", how|strong="G4459" is|strong="G3588" it|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3739" you|strong="G3739" are|strong="G3588" turning|strong="G1994" back|strong="G3825" again|strong="G3825" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" weak and|strong="G2532" worthless|strong="G4434" elements|strong="G4747"? Do|strong="G2532" you|strong="G3739" wish|strong="G2309" to|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" enslaved|strong="G1398" to|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588" once|strong="G3825" more|strong="G3123"?
10 You|strong="G2532" observe|strong="G3906" days|strong="G2250", months|strong="G3376", seasons|strong="G2540", and|strong="G2532" years|strong="G1763"!
11 I|strong="G2872" am|strong="G5399" afraid|strong="G5399" for|strong="G1519" you|strong="G5210", lest|strong="G3361" somehow I|strong="G2872" have|strong="G5210" labored|strong="G2872" for|strong="G1519" you|strong="G5210" in|strong="G1519" vain|strong="G1500".
12 I|strong="G1473" plead with|strong="G1096" you|strong="G5210", brothers: Become|strong="G1096" as|strong="G5613" I|strong="G1473" am|strong="G1473", because|strong="G3754" I|strong="G1473" also|strong="G2504" have|strong="G1473" become|strong="G1096" as|strong="G5613" you|strong="G5210" are|strong="G3748". You|strong="G5210" did|strong="G1096" me|strong="G1473" no|strong="G3762" wrong.
13 But|strong="G1161" you|strong="G5210" know|strong="G1492" that|strong="G3754" it|strong="G3754" was|strong="G3588" because|strong="G3754" of|strong="G1223" a|strong="G1161" physical|strong="G4561" infirmity that|strong="G3754" I|strong="G1161" preached|strong="G2097" the|strong="G1161" gospel|strong="G2097" to|strong="G1161" you|strong="G5210" the|strong="G1161" first|strong="G4386" time|strong="G4387".
14 And|strong="G2532" you|strong="G5210" did|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" despise|strong="G1848" or|strong="G2532" reject|strong="G1609" me|strong="G1473" even|strong="G2532" though|strong="G5613" my|strong="G1722" physical|strong="G4561" condition|strong="G4561" was|strong="G3588" a|strong="G5613" trial|strong="G3986" for|strong="G1722" me|strong="G1473". On|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" contrary|strong="G2316", you|strong="G5210" received|strong="G1209" me|strong="G1473" as|strong="G5613" an|strong="G2532" angel of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316", as|strong="G5613" Christ|strong="G5547" Jesus|strong="G2424".
15 What|strong="G3588" then|strong="G3767" has|strong="G3748" become of|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3754" sense|strong="G3108" of|strong="G3588" blessing|strong="G3108" you|strong="G5210" had|strong="G3588"? For|strong="G1063" I|strong="G1473" testify|strong="G3140" to|strong="G1325" you|strong="G5210" that|strong="G3754", if|strong="G1487" possible|strong="G1415", you|strong="G5210" would|strong="G1325" have|strong="G1473" plucked|strong="G1846" out|strong="G1063" your|strong="G1487" own|strong="G3788" eyes|strong="G3788" and|strong="G3767" given|strong="G1325" them|strong="G3588" to|strong="G1325" me|strong="G1325".
16 Have|strong="G5210" I|strong="G1096" now|strong="G1096" become|strong="G1096" your|strong="G5210" enemy|strong="G2190" by|strong="G1096" telling you|strong="G5210" the|strong="G1096" truth?
17 Those false teachers are|strong="G2309" not|strong="G3756" zealous for|strong="G2443" you|strong="G5210" in|strong="G1438" a|strong="G3756" good|strong="G2573" way, but|strong="G1438" rather|strong="G3756" they|strong="G2443" wish|strong="G2309" to|strong="G2443" shut|strong="G1576" you|strong="G5210" out|strong="G1438" so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G2443" you|strong="G5210" will|strong="G2309" be|strong="G3756" zealous for|strong="G2443" them|strong="G1438".
18 Now|strong="G1161" it|strong="G2532" is|strong="G3588" good|strong="G2570" to|strong="G4314" be|strong="G2532" zealous for|strong="G4314" a|strong="G2532" good|strong="G2570" purpose|strong="G3842", and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G4314" be|strong="G2532" so|strong="G2532" at|strong="G1722" all|strong="G2532" times|strong="G3842" and|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3361" just|strong="G2532" when|strong="G1161" I|strong="G1473" am|strong="G1473" with|strong="G1722" you|strong="G5210".
19 My|strong="G1722" little children|strong="G5043", for|strong="G1722" whom|strong="G3739" I|strong="G1473" am|strong="G1473" again|strong="G3825" suffering|strong="G1722" labor|strong="G5605" pains until|strong="G3360" Christ|strong="G5547" is|strong="G3739" formed|strong="G3445" in|strong="G1722" you|strong="G5210",
20 how|strong="G3754" I|strong="G1473" wish|strong="G2309" that|strong="G3754" I|strong="G1473" could|strong="G3588" be|strong="G2532" with|strong="G1722" you|strong="G5210" now|strong="G1161" and|strong="G2532" change my|strong="G1722" tone|strong="G5456", for|strong="G3754" I|strong="G1473" am|strong="G1473" perplexed about|strong="G1722" you|strong="G5210"!
21 Tell|strong="G3004" me|strong="G1473", you|strong="G3004" who|strong="G3588" wish|strong="G2309" to|strong="G3004" be|strong="G1510" under|strong="G5259" the|strong="G3588" law|strong="G3551", do|strong="G3004" you|strong="G3004" not|strong="G3756" listen to|strong="G3004" the|strong="G3588" law|strong="G3551"?
22 For|strong="G1063" it|strong="G2532" is|strong="G3588" written|strong="G1125" that|strong="G3754" Abraham had|strong="G2192" two|strong="G1417" sons|strong="G5207", one|strong="G1520" by|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" slave woman|strong="G1658" and|strong="G2532" one|strong="G1520" by|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" free|strong="G1658" woman|strong="G1658".
23 But|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1537" son of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1537" slave woman|strong="G1658" was|strong="G3588" born|strong="G1080" according|strong="G2596" to|strong="G2596" the|strong="G1537" flesh|strong="G4561", while|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1537" son of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1537" free|strong="G1658" woman|strong="G1658" was|strong="G3588" born|strong="G1080" through|strong="G1223" the|strong="G1537" promise|strong="G1860".
24 This|strong="G3778" can|strong="G1063" be|strong="G1510" explained allegorically, for|strong="G1063" these|strong="G3778" women|strong="G1417" are|strong="G1510" two|strong="G1417" covenants|strong="G1242". One|strong="G1520" is|strong="G1510" from|strong="G1519" Mount|strong="G3735" Sinai|strong="G4614", bearing|strong="G1080" children|strong="G1080" for|strong="G1063" slavery|strong="G1397"; this|strong="G3778" is|strong="G1510" Hagar.
25 For|strong="G1063" Hagar is|strong="G1510" Mount|strong="G3735" Sinai|strong="G4614" in|strong="G1722" Arabia and|strong="G1161" corresponds|strong="G4960" to|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" present|strong="G3568" Jerusalem|strong="G2419"; she|strong="G1161" is|strong="G1510" in|strong="G1722" slavery|strong="G1398" with|strong="G3326" her|strong="G3588" children|strong="G5043".
26 But|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1161" Jerusalem|strong="G2419" that|strong="G3588" is|strong="G1510" above is|strong="G1510" the|strong="G1161" free|strong="G1658" woman|strong="G1658"; she|strong="G1161" is|strong="G1510" the|strong="G1161" mother|strong="G3384" of|strong="G3384" us|strong="G2249" all|strong="G1161".
27 For|strong="G1063" it|strong="G2532" is|strong="G3588" written|strong="G1125",
28 Now|strong="G1161" we|strong="G1161", brothers, like|strong="G2596" Isaac|strong="G2464", are|strong="G1510" children|strong="G5043" of|strong="G5043" the|strong="G1161" promise|strong="G1860".
29 But|strong="G2532" just|strong="G5618" as|strong="G5618" at|strong="G2596" that|strong="G3588" time|strong="G5119" the|strong="G2532" child|strong="G1080" who|strong="G3588" was|strong="G3588" born|strong="G1080" according|strong="G2596" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" flesh|strong="G4561" persecuted|strong="G1377" the|strong="G2532" child|strong="G1080" who|strong="G3588" was|strong="G3588" born|strong="G1080" according|strong="G2596" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Spirit|strong="G4151", so|strong="G3779" it|strong="G2532" is|strong="G3588" now|strong="G3568" also|strong="G2532".
30 But|strong="G2532" what|strong="G5101" does|strong="G5101" the|strong="G2532" Scripture|strong="G1124" say|strong="G3004"? “Cast|strong="G1544" out|strong="G1544" the|strong="G2532" slave woman|strong="G1658" and|strong="G2532" her|strong="G3588" son|strong="G5207", for|strong="G1063" the|strong="G2532" son|strong="G5207" of|strong="G5207" the|strong="G2532" slave woman|strong="G1658" shall|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" inherit|strong="G2816" with|strong="G3326" the|strong="G2532" son|strong="G5207" of|strong="G5207" the|strong="G2532" free|strong="G1658" woman|strong="G1658".”
31 So|strong="G1352", brothers, we|strong="G1352" are|strong="G1510" not|strong="G3756" children|strong="G5043" of|strong="G5043" the|strong="G3588" slave woman|strong="G1658", but|strong="G3588" of|strong="G5043" the|strong="G3588" free|strong="G1658" woman|strong="G1658".
