1: I sayG3004 now,G1161 forG1909 as long asG3745 timeG5550 theG3588 heirG2818 a childG3516 is,G1510 notG3762 he differsG1308 from a slave,G1401 [though] ownerG2962 of everythingG3956 being.G1510

2: Instead,G0235 underG5259 guardiansG2012 he is,G1510 andG2532 trustees,G3623 untilG0891 theG3588 time appointedG4287 by [his]G3588 father.G3962

3: SoG3779 alsoG2532 we,G1473 whenG3753 we wereG1510 children,G3516 underG5259 theG3588 basic principlesG4747 of theG3588 worldG2889 wereG1510 held in bondage.G1402

4: WhenG3753 howeverG1161 had comeG2064 theG3588 fullnessG4138 of theG3588 time,G5550 sent forthG1821 -G3588 GodG2316 theG3588 SonG5207 of him,G0846 having been bornG1096 ofG1537 a woman,G1135 having been bornG1096 underG5259 [the] Law,G3551

5: thatG2443 thoseG3588 underG5259 [the] LawG3551 He might redeem,G1805 so thatG2443 theG3588 divine adoption as sonsG5206 we might receive.G0618

6: BecauseG3754 nowG1161 you areG1510 sons,G5207 sent forthG1821 -G3588 GodG2316 theG3588 SpiritG4151 of theG3588 SonG5207 of HimG0846 intoG1519 theG3588 heartsG2588 of us,G1473 crying out,G2896 Abba,G0005 -G3588 Father!G3962

7: SoG5620 no longerG3765 you areG1510 a slave,G1401 butG0235 a son;G5207 ifG1487 nowG1161 a son,G5207 alsoG2532 an heirG2818 throughG1223 God.G2316

8: ButG0235 at that timeG5119 indeedG3303 notG3756 knowingG1492 God,G2316 you were enslavedG1398 to thoseG3588 by natureG5449 notG3361 beingG1510 gods;G2316

9: nowG3568 however,G1161 having knownG1097 God,G2316 ratherG3123 howeverG1161 having been knownG1097 byG5259 God,G2316 howG4459 do you turnG1994 againG3825 toG1909 theG3588 weakG0772 andG2532 destituteG4434 principles,G4747 to whichG3739 againG3825 anewG0509 to be enslavedG1398 you desire?G2309

10: DaysG2250 you observe,G3906 andG2532 monthsG3376 andG2532 seasonsG2540 andG2532 years.G1763

11: I fearG5399 for you,G4771 lestG3361 perhapsG4459 in vainG1500 I have toiledG2872 forG1519 you.G4771

12: BecomeG1096 asG5613 I [am],G1473 becauseG3754 I also [have become]G2504 asG5613 you,G4771 brothers,G0080 I imploreG1189 you.G4771 In nothingG3762 meG1473 have You wronged.G0091

13: You knowG1492 nowG1161 thatG3754 inG1223 weaknessG0769 of theG3588 fleshG4561 I proclaimed the gospelG2097 to youG4771 at theG3588 first;G4386

14: andG2532 theG3588 testG3986 of youG4771 inG1722 theG3588 fleshG4561 of me,G1473 notG3756 you did despise [me],G1848 norG3761 reject [me] with contempt;G1609 butG0235 asG5613 an angelG0032 of God,G2316 you receivedG1209 meG1473 even asG5613 ChristG5547 Jesus.G2424

15: WhatG4226 thenG3767 theG3588 blessednessG3108 of you?G4771 I bear witnessG3140 forG1063 to youG4771 that,G3754 ifG1487 possible,G1415 theG3588 eyesG3788 of youG4771 having gouged out,G1846 you would have given [them]G1325 to me.G1473

16: SoG5620 enemyG2190 of youG4771 have I become,G1096 speaking truthG0226 to you?G4771

17: They are zealous afterG2206 youG4771 notG3756 rightly,G2573 butG0235 to excludeG1576 you [from us].G4771 They desireG2309 so thatG2443 themG0846 you might be zealous after.G2206

18: Good [it is]G2570 nowG1161 to be zealousG2206 inG1722 a right [thing]G2570 at all times,G3842 andG2532 notG3361 onlyG3440 inG1722 -G3588 being presentG3918 myG1473 withG4314 you.G4771

19: ChildrenG5043 of me,G1473 of whomG3739 againG3825 I travailG5605 untilG3360 thatG3739 shall have been formedG3445 ChristG5547 inG1722 you,G4771

20: I was wishingG2309 indeedG1161 to be presentG3918 withG4314 youG4771 presentlyG0737 andG2532 to changeG0236 theG3588 toneG5456 of me,G1473 becauseG3754 I am perplexedG0639 as toG1722 you.G4771

21: TellG3004 me,G1473 thoseG3588 underG5259 [the] LawG3551 wishingG2309 to be,G1510 theG3588 LawG3551 notG3756 you do listen to?G0191

22: It has been writtenG1125 forG1063 thatG3754 AbrahamG0011 twoG1417 sonsG5207 had,G2192 oneG1520 ofG1537 theG3588 slave womanG3814 andG2532 oneG1520 ofG1537 theG3588 free.G1658

23: ButG0235 the [one]G3588 indeedG3303 ofG1537 theG3588 slave woman,G3814 according toG2596 fleshG4561 has been born;G1080 the [one]G3588 butG1161 ofG1537 theG3588 free,G1658 throughG1223 theG3588 promise,G1860

24: which thingsG3748 areG1510 allegorized;G0238 theseG3778 forG1063 areG1510 twoG1417 covenants:G1242 oneG1520 indeedG3303 fromG0575 MountG3735 Sinai,G4614 untoG1519 slaveryG1397 begetting,G1080 whichG3748 isG1510 Hagar.G0028

25: -G3588 AndG1161 HagarG0028 SinaiG4614 MountG3735 is,G1510 inG1722 -G3588 Arabia;G0688 she correspondsG4960 nowG1161 to theG3588 presentG3568 Jerusalem,G2419 she is in slaveryG1398 forG1063 withG3326 theG3588 childrenG5043 of her.G0846

26: -G3588 ButG1161 the aboveG0507 JerusalemG2419 freeG1658 is,G1510 whoG3748 isG1510 motherG3384 of us.G1473

27: It has been writtenG1125 for:G1063 Rejoice,G2165 O barren woman,G4723 the [one]G3588 notG3756 bearing;G5088 break forthG4486 andG2532 call aloud,G0994 the [one]G3588 notG3756 travailing;G5605 becauseG3754 manyG4183 [are] theG3588 childrenG5043 of theG3588 desolate womanG2048 more,G3123 thanG2228 of herG3588 havingG2192 theG3588 husband.G0435

28: YouG4771 now,G1161 brothers,G0080 likeG2596 Isaac,G2464 of promiseG1860 childrenG5043 are.G1510

29: ButG0235 just asG5618 at that timeG5119 the [one]G3588 according toG2596 fleshG4561 having been bornG1080 was persecutingG1377 the [one born]G3588 according toG2596 Spirit,G4151 soG3779 alsoG2532 [it is] now.G3568

30: ButG0235 whatG5101 saysG3004 theG3588 Scripture?G1124 Cast outG1544 theG3588 slave womanG3814 andG2532 theG3588 sonG5207 of her;G0846 noG3756 forG1063 notG3361 will inheritG2816 theG3588 sonG5207 of theG3588 slave womanG3814 along withG3326 theG3588 sonG5207 of theG3588 free.G1658

31: So then,G1352 brothers,G0080 notG3756 we areG1510 of [the] slave womanG3814 children,G5043 butG0235 of theG3588 free.G1658
