Galatians 4:29 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Think of it this way. If a father dies and leaves an inheritance for his young children, those children are not much better off than slaves until they grow up, even though they actually own everything their father had.
2 They have to obey their guardians until they reach whatever age their father set.
3 And that's the way it was with us before Christ came. We were like children; we were slaves to the basic spiritual principles of this world.
4 But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law.
5 God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children.
6 And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, "Abba, Father."
7 Now you are no longer a slave but God's own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir.
8 Before you Gentiles knew God, you were slaves to so-called gods that do not even exist.
9 So now that you know God (or should I say, now that God knows you), why do you want to go back again and become slaves once more to the weak and useless spiritual principles of this world?
10 You are trying to earn favor with God by observing certain days or months or seasons or years.
11 I fear for you. Perhaps all my hard work with you was for nothing.
12 Dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to live as I do in freedom from these things, for I have become like you Gentiles-- free from those laws.You did not mistreat me when I first preached to you.
13 Surely you remember that I was sick when I first brought you the Good News.
14 But even though my condition tempted you to reject me, you did not despise me or turn me away. No, you took me in and cared for me as though I were an angel from God or even Christ Jesus himself.
15 Where is that joyful and grateful spirit you felt then? I am sure you would have taken out your own eyes and given them to me if it had been possible.
16 Have I now become your enemy because I am telling you the truth?
17 Those false teachers are so eager to win your favor, but their intentions are not good. They are trying to shut you off from me so that you will pay attention only to them.
18 If someone is eager to do good things for you, that's all right; but let them do it all the time, not just when I'm with you.
19 Oh, my dear children! I feel as if I'm going through labor pains for you again, and they will continue until Christ is fully developed in your lives.
20 I wish I were with you right now so I could change my tone. But at this distance I don't know how else to help you.
21 Tell me, you who want to live under the law, do you know what the law actually says?
22 The Scriptures say that Abraham had two sons, one from his slave-wife and one from his freeborn wife.
23 The son of the slave-wife was born in a human attempt to bring about the fulfillment of God's promise. But the son of the freeborn wife was born as God's own fulfillment of his promise.
24 These two women serve as an illustration of God's two covenants. The first woman, Hagar, represents Mount Sinai where people received the law that enslaved them.
25 And now Jerusalem is just like Mount Sinai in Arabia, because she and her children live in slavery to the law.
26 But the other woman, Sarah, represents the heavenly Jerusalem. She is the free woman, and she is our mother.
27 As Isaiah said, "Rejoice, O childless woman, you who have never given birth! Break into a joyful shout, you who have never been in labor! For the desolate woman now has more children than the woman who lives with her husband!"
28 And you, dear brothers and sisters, are children of the promise, just like Isaac.
29 But you are now being persecuted by those who want you to keep the law, just as Ishmael, the child born by human effort, persecuted Isaac, the child born by the power of the Spirit.
30 But what do the Scriptures say about that? "Get rid of the slave and her son, for the son of the slave woman will not share the inheritance with the free woman's son."
31 So, dear brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman; we are children of the free woman.
1 Now G1161 CONJ I say G3004 V-PAI-1S , That G3588 T-NSM the G3588 T-NSM heir G2818 N-NSM , as long as G3745 K-ASM he G5550 N-ASM is G2076 V-PXI-3S a child G3516 A-NSM , differeth G1308 V-PAI-3S nothing G3762 A-ASN from a servant G1401 N-GSM , though he be G5607 V-PXP-NSM lord G2962 N-NSM of all G3956 A-GPM ;
2 But G235 CONJ is G2076 V-PXI-3S under G5259 PREP tutors G2012 N-APM and G2532 CONJ governors G3623 N-APM until G891 PREP the G3588 T-GSF time appointed G4287 N-GSF of G3588 T-GSM the G3588 T-GSM father G3962 N-GSM .
3 Even G2532 CONJ so G3779 ADV we G2249 P-1NP , when G3753 ADV we were G2258 children G3516 A-NPM , were G2258 in bondage G1402 V-RPP-NPM under G5259 PREP the G3588 T-APN elements G4747 N-APN of G3588 T-GSM the G3588 T-GSM world G2889 N-GSM :
4 But G1161 CONJ when G3753 ADV the G3588 T-NSN fullness G4138 N-NSN of G3588 T-GSM the G3588 T-GSM time G5550 N-GSM was come G2064 V-2AAI-3S , God G2316 N-NSM sent forth G1821 V-AAI-3S his G3588 T-ASM Son G5207 N-ASM , made G1096 V-2ADP-ASM of G1537 PREP a woman G1135 N-GSF , made G1096 V-2ADP-ASM under G5259 PREP the law G3551 N-ASM ,
5 To G2443 CONJ redeem G1805 V-AAS-3S them G3588 T-APM that were under G5259 PREP the law G3551 N-ASM , that G2443 CONJ we might receive G618 V-2AAS-1P the G3588 T-ASF adoption of sons G5206 N-ASF .
6 And G1161 CONJ because G3754 CONJ ye are G2075 V-PXI-2P sons G5207 N-NPM , God G2316 N-NSM hath sent forth G1821 V-AAI-3S the G3588 T-ASN Spirit G4151 N-ASN of G3588 T-GSM his G3588 T-GSM Son G5207 N-GSM into G1519 PREP your G3588 T-APF hearts G2588 N-APF , crying G2896 V-PAP-ASN , Abba G5 N-PRI , Father G3962 N-NSM .
7 Wherefore G5620 CONJ thou art G1488 V-PXI-2S no more G3765 ADV a servant G1401 N-NSM , but G235 CONJ a son G5207 N-NSM ; and G1161 CONJ if G1487 COND a son G5207 N-NSM , then G2532 CONJ an heir G2818 N-NSM of God G2316 N-GSM through G1223 PREP Christ G5547 N-GSM .
8 Howbeit G235 CONJ then G5119 ADV , when G3303 PRT ye knew G1492 V-RAP-NPM not G3756 PRT-N God G2316 N-ASM , ye did service G1398 V-AAI-2P unto them which by nature G5449 N-DSF are G5607 V-PXP-DPM no G3361 PRT-N gods G2316 N-DPM .
9 But G1161 CONJ now G3568 ADV , after that ye have known G1097 V-2AAP-NPM God G2316 N-ASM , or G1161 CONJ rather G3123 ADV are known G1097 V-APP-NPM of G5259 PREP God G2316 N-GSM , how G4459 ADV-I turn G1994 V-PAI-2P ye again G3825 ADV to G1909 PREP the G3588 T-APN weak G772 A-APN and G2532 CONJ beggarly G4434 A-APN elements G4747 N-APN , whereunto G3739 R-DPN ye G3825 ADV desire G2309 V-PAI-2P again G509 ADV to be in bondage G1398 V-PAN ?
10 Ye observe G3906 V-PMI-2P days G2250 N-APF , and G2532 CONJ months G3376 N-APM , and G2532 CONJ times G2540 N-APM , and G2532 CONJ years G1763 N-APM .
11 I am afraid G5399 V-PNI-1S of you G5209 P-2AP , lest G3381 CONJ I have bestowed upon you labor G2872 V-RAI-1S in vain G1500 ADV .
12 Brethren G80 N-VPM , I beseech G1189 V-PNI-1S you G5216 P-2GP , be G1096 V-PNM-2P as G5613 ADV I G1473 P-1NS am ; for G3754 CONJ I G2504 P-1NS-C am as G5613 ADV ye G5210 P-2NP are : ye have not injured me at all G3762 A-ASN .
13 Ye G1161 CONJ know G1492 V-RAI-2P how G3754 CONJ through G1223 PREP infirmity G769 N-ASF of G3588 T-GSF the G3588 T-GSF flesh G4561 N-GSF I preached the gospel G2097 V-AMI-1S unto you G3588 T-ASN at the first G4386 A-ASN .
14 And G2532 CONJ my G3588 T-ASM temptation G3986 N-ASM which G3588 T-ASM was in G1722 PREP my G3588 T-DSF flesh G4561 N-DSF ye despised G1848 V-AAI-2P not G3756 PRT-N , nor G3761 ADV rejected G1609 V-AAI-2P ; but G235 CONJ received G1209 V-ADI-2P me G3165 P-1AS as G5613 ADV an angel G32 N-ASM of God G2316 N-GSM , even as G5613 ADV Christ G5547 N-ASM Jesus G2424 N-ASM .
15 Where G5101 I-NSM is G2258 V-IXI-3S then G3767 CONJ the G3588 T-NSM blessedness G3108 N-NSM ye G5216 P-2GP spake of ? for G1063 CONJ I bear you record G3140 V-PAI-1S , that G3754 CONJ , if G1487 COND it had been possible G1415 A-NSN , ye would have plucked out G1846 V-AAP-NPM your G3588 T-APM own G5216 P-2GP eyes G3788 N-APM , and have given G1325 V-AAI-2P them to me G3427 P-1DS .
16 Am I therefore G5620 CONJ become G1096 V-2RAI-1S your G5216 P-2GP enemy G2190 A-NSM , because I tell you the truth G226 V-PAP-NSM ?
17 They zealously affect G2206 V-PAI-3P you G5209 P-2AP , but not G3756 PRT-N well G2573 ADV ; yea G235 CONJ , they would G2309 V-PAI-3P exclude G1576 V-AAN you G5209 P-2AP , that G2443 CONJ ye might affect G2206 V-PAS-2P them G846 P-APM .
18 But G1161 CONJ it is good G2570 A-NSN to be zealously affected G2206 V-PPN always G3842 ADV in G1722 PREP a good G2570 A-DSN thing , and G2532 CONJ not G3361 PRT-N only G3440 ADV when I G3588 T-DSM am present G3918 V-PXN with G4314 PREP you G5209 P-2AP .
19 My G3450 P-1GS little children G5040 N-VPN , of whom G3739 R-APM I travail in birth G5605 V-PAI-1S again G3825 ADV until G891 PREP Christ G5547 N-NSM be formed G3445 V-APS-3S in G1722 PREP you G5213 P-2DP ,
20 I G1161 CONJ desire G2309 V-IAI-1S to be present G3918 V-PXN with G4314 PREP you G5209 P-2AP now G737 ADV , and G2532 CONJ to change G236 V-AAN my G3588 T-ASF voice G5456 N-ASF ; for G3754 CONJ I stand in doubt G639 V-PMI-1S of G1722 PREP you G5213 P-2DP .
21 Tell G3004 V-PAM-2P me G3427 P-1DS , ye that desire G2309 V-PAP-NPM to be G1511 V-PXN under G5259 PREP the law G3551 N-ASM , do ye not G3756 PRT-N hear G191 V-PAI-2P the G3588 T-ASM law G3551 N-ASM ?
22 For G1063 CONJ it is written G1125 V-RPI-3S , that G3754 CONJ Abraham G11 N-PRI had G2192 V-2AAI-3S two G1417 A-NUI sons G5207 N-APM , the one G1520 A-ASM by G1537 PREP a bondmaid G3814 N-GSF , the G2532 CONJ other G1520 A-ASM by G1537 PREP a freewoman G1658 A-GSF .
23 But G235 CONJ he T-NSM who was of G1537 PREP the G3588 T-GSF bondwoman G3814 N-GSF was born G1080 V-RPI-3S after G2596 PREP the G3588 T-NSM flesh G4561 N-ASF ; but G1161 CONJ he G3588 T-GSF of G1537 PREP the G3588 T-GSF freewoman G1658 A-GSF was by G1223 PREP promise G1860 N-GSF .
24 Which things G3748 R-NPN are G2076 V-PXI-3S an allegory G238 V-PPP-NPN : for G1063 CONJ these G3778 D-NPF are G1526 V-PXI-3P the G3588 two G1417 A-NUI covenants G1242 N-NPF ; the one G3391 from G575 PREP the mount G3735 N-GSN Sinai G4614 N-PRI , which engendereth G1080 V-PAP-NSF to G1519 PREP bondage G1397 N-ASF , which G3748 R-NSF is G2076 V-PXI-3S Hagar G28 N-PRI .
25 For G1063 CONJ this Hagar G28 N-PRI is G2076 V-PXI-3S mount G3735 N-NSN Sinai G4614 N-PRI in G1722 PREP Arabia G688 N-DSF , and G1161 CONJ answereth to G4960 V-PAI-3S Jerusalem G2419 N-PRI which now G3568 ADV is , and G1161 CONJ is in bondage G1398 V-PAI-3S with G3326 PREP her G3588 T-GPN children G5043 N-GPN .
26 But G1161 CONJ Jerusalem G2419 N-PRI which is above G507 ADV is G2076 V-PXI-3S free G1658 A-NSF , which G3748 R-NSF is G2076 V-PXI-3S the mother G3384 N-NSF of us G2257 P-1GP all G3956 A-GPM .
27 For G1063 CONJ it is written G1125 V-RPI-3S , Rejoice G2165 V-APM-2S , thou barren G4723 N-VSF that G3588 T-NSF bearest G5088 V-PAP-NSF not G3756 PRT-N ; break forth G4486 V-AAM-2S and G2532 CONJ cry G994 V-AAM-2S , thou that G3588 T-NSF travailest G5605 V-PAP-NSF not G3756 PRT-N ; for G3754 CONJ the G3588 T-GSF desolate G2048 A-GSF hath G2192 V-PAP-GSF many G4183 A-NPN more G3123 ADV children G5043 N-NPN than G2228 PRT she G3588 T-ASM which G3588 T-ASM hath G2192 V-PAP-GSF a husband G435 N-ASM .
28 Now G1161 CONJ we G2249 P-1NP , brethren G80 N-VPM , as G2596 PREP Isaac G2464 N-PRI was , are G2070 V-PXI-1P the children G5043 N-NPN of promise G1860 N-GSF .
29 But G235 CONJ as G5618 ADV then G5119 ADV he G3588 T-NSM that G3588 T-NSM was born G1080 V-APP-NSM after G2596 PREP the flesh G4561 N-ASF persecuted G1377 V-IAI-3S him G3588 T-ASM that was born after G2596 PREP the Spirit G4151 N-ASN , even G2532 CONJ so G3779 ADV it is now G3568 ADV .
30 Nevertheless G235 CONJ what G5101 I-ASN saith G3004 V-PAI-3S the G3588 T-NSF Scripture G1124 N-NSF ? Cast out G1544 V-2AAM-2S the G3588 T-ASF bondwoman G3814 N-ASF and G2532 CONJ her G3588 T-ASM son G5207 N-ASM : for G1063 CONJ the G3588 T-NSM son G5207 N-NSM of G3588 T-GSF the G3588 T-GSF bondwoman G3814 N-GSF shall not G3364 be heir G2816 V-AAS-3S with G3326 PREP the G3588 T-GSM son G5207 N-GSM of G3588 T-GSF the G3588 T-GSF freewoman G1658 A-GSF .
31 So then G686 PRT , brethren G80 N-VPM , we are G2070 V-PXI-1P not G3756 PRT-N children G5043 N-NPN of the bondwoman G3814 N-GSF , but G235 CONJ of G3588 T-GSF the G3588 T-GSF free G1658 A-GSF .
