Galatians 4

Tyndale TYN

1 And I saye that the heyre as longe as he is a chylde differth not from a servaunt though he be Lorde of all

2 but is vnder tuters and governers vntill the tyme appoynted of the father.

3 Even so we as longe as we were chyldren were in bondage vnder the ordinaunces of the worlde.

4 But when the tyme was full come God sent his sonne borne of a woman and made bonde vnto ye lawe

5 to redeme the which were vnder the lawe: yt we thorow eleccion myght receave the inheritauce yt belongeth vnto the naturall sonnes.

6 Be cause ye are sonnes God hath sent the sprete of his sonne in to oure hertes which cryeth Abba father.

7 Wherfore now thou art not a servaunt but a sonne. Yf thou be ye sonne thou arte also the heyre of God thorow Christ.

8 Notwithstondinge whe ye knewe not God ye dyd service vnto them which by nature were no goddes.

9 But now seinge ye knowe god (yee rather are knowe of God) how is it that ye tourne agayne vnto the weake and bedgarly cerimonies whervnto agayne ye desyre afresshe to be in bondage?

10 Ye observe dayes and monethes and tymes and yeares.

11 I am in feare of you lest I have bestowed on you laboure in vayne.

12 Brethern I besech you be ye as I am: for I am as ye are. Ye have not hurte me at all.

13 Ye knowe how thorow infirmite of the flesshe I preached the gospell vnto you at the fyrst.

14 And my temptacion which I suffered by reason of my flesshe ye despysed not nether abhorred: but receaved me as an angell of god: ye as Christ Iesus.

15 How happy were ye then? for I beare you recorde that yf it had bene possible ye wolde have plucked out youre awne eyes and have geven them to me.

16 Am I therfore become youre enemie because I tell you the truth?

17 They are gelous over you amysse. Ye they intede to exclude you that ye shuld be feruet to them warde.

18 It is good alwayes to be fervent so it be in a good thinge and not only whe I am present with you.

19 My littel children (of whom I travayle in birth againe vntill Christ be fassioned in you)

20 I wolde I were with you now and coulde chaunge my voyce: for I stonde in a doute of you

21 Tell me ye that desyre to be vnder the lawe have ye not hearde of the lawe?

22 For it is written that Abraham had two sonnes ye one by a bonde mayde the other by a fre woman.

23 Yee and he which was of the bonde woman was borne after the flesshe: but he which was of the fre woman was borne by promes.

24 Which thinges betoken mystery. For these wemen are two testamentes the one fro the mounte Sina which gendreth vnto bondage which is Agar.

25 For mounte Sina is called Agar in Arabia and bordreth vpo the citie which is now Ierusalem and is in bondage with her chyldren.

26 But Ierusalem which is above is fre: which is the mother of vs all.

27 For it is written: reioyce thou bare that bearest no chyldre: breake forthe and crye thou that travelest not. For the desolate hath many moo chyldren then she which hath an husband.

28 Brethre we are after the maner of Isaac chyldren of promes.

29 But as then he yt was borne carnally persecuted him that was borne spiritually. Even so is it now.

30 Neverthelesse what sayth the scripture: put awaye the bonde woman and her sonne. For the sonne of the bonde woma shall not be heyre with the sonne of ye fre woman.

31 So then brethren we are not chyldre of the bonde woman: but of the fre woman.

New International Version NIV

1 What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate.

2 The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father.

3 So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces of the world.

4 But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

5 to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.

6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”

7 So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.

8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.

9 But now that you know God—or rather are known by God—how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces ? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?

10 You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!

11 I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.

12 I plead with you, brothers and sisters, become like me, for I became like you. You did me no wrong.

13 As you know, it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you,

14 and even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself.

15 Where, then, is your blessing of me now? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.

16 Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?

17 Those people are zealous to win you over, but for no good. What they want is to alienate you from us, so that you may have zeal for them.

18 It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always, not just when I am with you.

19 My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,

20 how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you!

21 Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says?

22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.

23 His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise.

24 These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar.

25 Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.

26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.

27 For it is written: “Be glad, barren woman, you who never bore a child; shout for joy and cry aloud, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband.”

28 Now you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise.

29 At that time the son born according to the flesh persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now.

30 But what does Scripture say? “Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.”

31 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
