4:1 I
mean
that
the
heir,
as
long
as
he
is
a
child,
is
no
different
from
a
slave,
though
he
is
the
owner
of
everything,
4:2 but
he
is
under
guardians
and
managers
until
the
date
set
by
his
father.
4:3 In
the
same
way
we
also,
when
we
were
children,
were
enslaved
to
the
elementary
principles
of
the
world.
4:4 But
when
the
fullness
of
time
had
come,
God
sent
forth
his
Son,
born
of
woman,
born
under
the
law,
4:5 to
redeem
those
who
were
under
the
law,
so
that
we
might
receive
adoption
as
sons.
4:6 And
because
you
are
sons,
God
has
sent
the
Spirit
of
his
Son
into
our
hearts,
crying,
"Abba!
Father!"
4:7 So
you
are
no
longer
a
slave,
but
a
son,
and
if
a
son,
then
an
heir
through
God.
4:8 Formerly,
when
you
did
not
know
God,
you
were
enslaved
to
those
that
by
nature
are
not
gods.
4:9 But
now
that
you
have
come
to
know
God,
or
rather
to
be
known
by
God,
how
can
you
turn
back
again
to
the
weak
and
worthless
elementary
principles
of
the
world,
whose
slaves
you
want
to
be
once
more
4:10 You
observe
days
and
months
and
seasons
and
years!
4:11 I
am
afraid
I
may
have
labored
over
you
in
vain.
4:12 Brothers,
I
entreat
you,
become
as
I
am,
for
I
also
have
become
as
you
are.
You
did
me
no
wrong.
4:13 You
know
it
was
because
of
a
bodily
ailment
that
I
preached
the
gospel
to
you
at
first,
4:14 and
though
my
condition
was
a
trial
to
you,
you
did
not
scorn
or
despise
me,
but
received
me
as
an
angel
of
God,
as
Christ
Jesus.
4:15 What
then
has
become
of
the
blessing
you
felt
For
I
testify
to
you
that,
if
possible,
you
would
have
gouged
out
your
eyes
and
given
them
to
me.
4:16 Have
I
then
become
your
enemy
by
telling
you
the
truth
4:17 They
make
much
of
you,
but
for
no
good
purpose.
They
want
to
shut
you
out,
that
you
may
make
much
of
them.
4:18 It
is
always
good
to
be
made
much
of
for
a
good
purpose,
and
not
only
when
I
am
present
with
you,
4:19 my
little
children,
for
whom
I
am
again
in
the
anguish
of
childbirth
until
Christ
is
formed
in
you!
4:20 I
wish
I
could
be
present
with
you
now
and
change
my
tone,
for
I
am
perplexed
about
you.
4:21 Tell
me,
you
who
desire
to
be
under
the
law,
do
you
not
listen
to
the
law
4:22 For
it
is
written
that
Abraham
had
two
sons,
one
by
a
slave
woman
and
one
by
a
free
woman.
4:23 But
the
son
of
the
slave
was
born
according
to
the
flesh,
while
the
son
of
the
free
woman
was
born
through
promise.
4:24 Now
this
may
be
interpreted
allegorically:
these
women
are
two
covenants.
One
is
from
Mount
Sinai,
bearing
children
for
slavery;
she
is
Hagar.
4:25 Now
Hagar
is
Mount
Sinai
in
Arabia;
she
corresponds
to
the
present
Jerusalem,
for
she
is
in
slavery
with
her
children.
4:26 But
the
Jerusalem
above
is
free,
and
she
is
our
mother.
4:27 For
it
is
written,
"Rejoice,
O
barren
one
who
does
not
bear;
break
forth
and
cry
aloud,
you
who
are
not
in
labor!
For
the
children
of
the
desolate
one
will
be
more
than
those
of
the
one
who
has
a
husband."
4:28 Now
you,
brothers,
like
Isaac,
are
children
of
promise.
4:29 But
just
as
at
that
time
he
who
was
born
according
to
the
flesh
persecuted
him
who
was
born
according
to
the
Spirit,
so
also
it
is
now.
4:30 But
what
does
the
Scripture
say
"Cast
out
the
slave
woman
and
her
son,
for
the
son
of
the
slave
woman
shall
not
inherit
with
the
son
of
the
free
woman."
4:31 So,
brothers,
we
are
not
children
of
the
slave
but
of
the
free
woman.
