| [1]And I say, that the heyre, as long as he is a chylde, differeth nothyng from a seruaut, though he be Lorde of all |
[1]Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; |
| [2]But is vnder tuters and gouernours, vntyll the tyme appoynted of the father |
[2]But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. |
| [3]Euen so we, when we were chyldren, were in bondage vnder ye rudimentes of the worlde |
[3]Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: |
| [4]But when the fulnesse of the tyme was come, God sent his sonne, made of a woman, and made vnder the lawe |
[4]But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, |
| [5]To redeeme them that were vnder the lawe, that we myght receaue the adoption of chyldren |
[5]To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. |
| [6]Because ye are sonnes, God hath sent the spirite of his sonne into your heartes, crying, Abba, father |
[6]And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. |
| [7]Wherfore thou art no more a seruaunt, but a sonne: If thou be a sonne, thou art also an heire of God, through Christ |
[7]Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. |
| [8]Notwithstandyng, when ye knewe not God, ye dyd seruice vnto the which by nature are no Gods |
[8]Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. |
| [9]But nowe after that ye haue knowen God, yea, rather are knowen of God, howe turne ye agayne vnto the weake and beggarly rudimentes, whervnto againe ye desire a freshe to be in bondage |
[9]But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? |
| [10]Ye obserue dayes, and monethes, and tymes, and yeres |
[10]Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. |
| [11]I am in feare of you, lest I haue bestowed on you labour in vayne |
[11]I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. |
| [12]Brethren, I besech you be as I [am] for I am as ye are. Ye haue not iniured me at all |
[12]Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all. |
| [13]Ye knowe howe through infirmitie of the fleshe, I preached the Gospell vnto you at the first |
[13]Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first. |
| [14]And my temptation which was in my fleshe, ye dispised not, neither abhorred: but receaued me as an Angel of God, euen as Christe Iesus |
[14]And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. |
| [15]What is then your felicitie? For I beare you recorde, that yf it had ben possible, ye woulde haue plucked out your owne eyes, and haue geuen them to me |
[15]Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me. |
| [16]Am I therfore become your enemie, because I tell you the trueth |
[16]Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? |
| [17]They are gelouse ouer you amisse: Yea, they intende to exclude you, that ye shoulde be feruent to them warde |
[17]They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them. |
| [18]It is good alwayes to be zelous in a good thyng, and not only when I am present with yo |
[18]But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you. |
| [19]My litle chyldren, of whom I trauayle in birth agayne, vntyll Christe be fashioned in you |
[19]My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, |
| [20]But I desire to be present with you nowe, and to chaunge my voyce: for I stande in doubt of you |
[20]I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you. |
| [21]Tell me, ye that desire to be vnder the lawe, do ye not heare the lawe |
[21]Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? |
| [22]For it is written, that Abraham had two sonnes, the one by a bonde mayde, the other by a free woman |
[22]For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. |
| [23]But he which was of the bonde woman, was borne after the fleshe: but he which was of the free woman, [was borne] by promise |
[23]But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. |
| [24]Which thynges are spoken by an allegorie. For these are two testamentes: the one from the mount Sina, which gendreth vnto bondage, which is Agar |
[24]Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. |
| [25]For Agar is the mount Sina in Arabia, and bordreth vpon the citie, which is nowe [called] Hierusalem, and is in bondage with her chyldren |
[25]For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. |
| [26]But Hierusalem which is aboue, is free: which is the mother of vs all |
[26]But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. |
| [27]For it is written: Reioyce thou baren, that bearest no chyldren, breake foorth and crye, thou that trauaylest not: For the desolate hath many mo chyldren, then she which hath an husbande |
[27]For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband. |
| [28]But brethren, we are after Isaac the chyldren of promise |
[28]Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. |
| [29]But as then he that was borne after the fleshe, persecuted hym that was borne after the spirite: euen so is it now |
[29]But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. |
| [30]Neuerthelesse, what saith the scripture? put away the bondwoman and her sonne: For the sonne of the bondwoman, shall not be heire with the sonne of the free woman |
[30]Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. |
| [31]So then brethren, we are not chyldren of the bonde woman, but of the free |
[31]So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free. |
