Galatians 4
1 Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
λεγω δε εφ οσον χρονον ο κληρονομος νηπιος εστιν ουδεν διαφερει δουλου κυριος παντων ων
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father:
αλλα υπο επιτροπους εστιν και οικονομους αχρι της προθεσμιας του πατρος
3 So we also, when we were children, were serving under the elements of the world.
ουτως και ημεις οτε ημεν νηπιοι υπο τα στοιχεια του κοσμου ημεθα δεδουλωμενοι
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent his Son, made of a woman, made under the law:
οτε δε ηλθεν το πληρωμα του χρονου εξαπεστειλεν ο θεος τον υιον αυτου γενομενον εκ γυναικος γενομενον υπο νομον
5 That he might redeem them who were under the law: that we might receive the adoption of sons.
ινα τους υπο νομον εξαγοραση ινα την υιοθεσιαν απολαβωμεν
6 And because you are sons, God hath sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying: Abba, Father.
οτι δε εστε υιοι εξαπεστειλεν ο θεος το πνευμα του υιου αυτου εις τας καρδιας ημων κραζον αββα ο πατηρ
7 Therefore now he is not a servant, but a son. And if a son, an heir also through God.
ωστε ουκετι ει δουλος αλλα υιος ει δε υιος και κληρονομος δια θεου
8 But then indeed, not knowing God, you served them, who, by nature, are not gods.
αλλα τοτε μεν ουκ ειδοτες θεον εδουλευσατε τοις φυσει μη ουσιν θεοις
9 But now, after that you have known God, or rather are known by God: how turn you again to the weak and needy elements, which you desire to serve again?
νυν δε γνοντες θεον μαλλον δε γνωσθεντες υπο θεου πως επιστρεφετε παλιν επι τα ασθενη και πτωχα στοιχεια οις παλιν ανωθεν {VAR1: δουλευσαι } {VAR2: δουλευειν } θελετε
10 You observe days, and months, and times, and years.
ημερας παρατηρεισθε και μηνας και καιρους και ενιαυτους
11 I am afraid of you, lest perhaps I have laboured in vain among you.
φοβουμαι υμας μη πως εικη κεκοπιακα εις υμας
12 Be ye as I, because I also am as you: brethren, I beseech you: you have not injured me at all.
γινεσθε ως εγω οτι καγω ως υμεις αδελφοι δεομαι υμων ουδεν με ηδικησατε
13 And you know, how through infirmity of the flesh, I preached the gospel to you heretofore: and your temptation in my flesh,
οιδατε δε οτι δι ασθενειαν της σαρκος ευηγγελισαμην υμιν το προτερον
14 You despised not, nor rejected: but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
και τον πειρασμον υμων εν τη σαρκι μου ουκ εξουθενησατε ουδε εξεπτυσατε αλλα ως αγγελον θεου εδεξασθε με ως χριστον ιησουν
15 Where is then your blessedness? For I bear you witness, that, if it could be done, you would have plucked out your own eyes, and would have given them to me.
που ουν ο μακαρισμος υμων μαρτυρω γαρ υμιν οτι ει δυνατον τους οφθαλμους υμων εξορυξαντες εδωκατε μοι
16 Am I then become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
ωστε εχθρος υμων γεγονα αληθευων υμιν
17 They are zealous in your regard not well: but they would exclude you, that you might be zealous for them.
ζηλουσιν υμας ου καλως αλλα εκκλεισαι υμας θελουσιν ινα αυτους ζηλουτε
18 But be zealous for that which is good in a good thing always: and not only when I am present with you.
καλον δε ζηλουσθαι εν καλω παντοτε και μη μονον εν τω παρειναι με προς υμας
19 My little children, of whom I am in labour again, until Christ be formed in you.
{VAR1: τεκνια } {VAR2: τεκνα } μου ους παλιν ωδινω μεχρις ου μορφωθη χριστος εν υμιν
20 And I would willingly be present with you now, and change my voice: because I am ashamed for you.
ηθελον δε παρειναι προς υμας αρτι και αλλαξαι την φωνην μου οτι απορουμαι εν υμιν
21 Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, have you not read the law?
λεγετε μοι οι υπο νομον θελοντες ειναι τον νομον ουκ ακουετε
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, and the other by a free woman.
γεγραπται γαρ οτι αβρααμ δυο υιους εσχεν ενα εκ της παιδισκης και ενα εκ της ελευθερας
23 But he who was of the bondwoman, was born according to the flesh: but he of the free woman, was by promise.
αλλ ο {VAR1: [μεν] } {VAR2: μεν } εκ της παιδισκης κατα σαρκα γεγεννηται ο δε εκ της ελευθερας δι επαγγελιας
24 Which things are said by an allegory. For these are the two testaments. The one from mount Sina, engendering unto bondage; which is Agar:
ατινα εστιν αλληγορουμενα αυται γαρ εισιν δυο διαθηκαι μια μεν απο ορους σινα εις δουλειαν γεννωσα ητις εστιν αγαρ
25 For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
το δε αγαρ σινα ορος εστιν εν τη αραβια συστοιχει δε τη νυν ιερουσαλημ δουλευει γαρ μετα των τεκνων αυτης
26 But that Jerusalem, which is above, is free: which is our mother.
η δε ανω ιερουσαλημ ελευθερα εστιν ητις εστιν μητηρ ημων
27 For it is written: Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not: break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband.
γεγραπται γαρ ευφρανθητι στειρα η ου τικτουσα ρηξον και βοησον η ουκ ωδινουσα οτι πολλα τα τεκνα της ερημου μαλλον η της εχουσης τον ανδρα
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
{VAR1: ημεις } {VAR2: υμεις } δε αδελφοι κατα ισαακ επαγγελιας τεκνα {VAR1: εσμεν } {VAR2: εστε }
29 But as then he, that was born according to the flesh, persecuted him that was after the spirit; so also it is now.
αλλ ωσπερ τοτε ο κατα σαρκα γεννηθεις εδιωκεν τον κατα πνευμα ουτως και νυν
30 But 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 free woman.
αλλα τι λεγει η γραφη εκβαλε την παιδισκην και τον υιον αυτης ου γαρ μη κληρονομησει ο υιος της παιδισκης μετα του υιου της ελευθερας
31 So then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman, but of the free: by the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free.
διο αδελφοι ουκ εσμεν παιδισκης τεκνα αλλα της ελευθερας
