\subsection{Galatians 4}
\VS{1} So I say, as long as the heir is under-age, he, being Lord of all, differs 
nothing from [a] slave. 
\VS{2} But he is under guardians and house-managers 
until the time appointed by the father. 
\VS{3} Thus we also, when we were 
under-age, by the principles\footnote{or ``elements''} of the world were we 
enslaved. 
\VS{4} But when came the fullness of time, God sent forth his son, 
coming into being from woman, coming into being under law, 
\VS{5} in order that he redeem those under law, in order that we 
recover\footnote{or ``receive''} the sonship. 
\VS{6} So because you are sons, God sent forth the 
spirit of his son into your hearts, shouting: Daddy, Father. 
\VS{7} So no longer are you slave, but son; so if son, also heir through God. 
\VS{8} But then you, not knowing God, were enslaved to those by nature not being gods, 
\VS{9} but now knowing God, rather having been known by God, how do you 
return again to the weak and poor principles, to which you again want to 
be slaving anew? 
\VS{10} You observe days and months and seasons\fnKairos{} and years. 
\VS{11} I fear for you, lest in vain I toiled for you. 
\VS{12} Become as I, 
because I also [became] as you, brothers, I ask [of you]. You did me no injustice. 
\VS{13} For you know that through weakness of the flesh I good-newsed to you before, 
\VS{14} and my test in my flesh you did not despise nor spit out, you 
received me as [a] messenger of God, as Christ Jesus. 
\VS{15} Where therefore 
[is] your blessing? For I testify to you that, if possible, having torn out your 
eyes you would have given [them] to me. 
\VS{16} So that your enemy came to be 
speaking truth to you? 
\VS{17} They do not seek you rightly, but they want 
to shut you out, in order that you seek them. 
\VS{18} But [it is] good to always be 
sought in [a] good [thing], and not only when I am present with you, 
\VS{19} my 
children, of whom I again suffer birth pains until Christ be formed in you. 
\VS{20} So I want to be present with you now and to change my voice, because 
I am uncertain [of you].

\VS{21} Be saying to me, you wanting to be under [the] law, don't you hear the 
law? 
\VS{22} For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one from the 
bondmaid and one from the free. 
\VS{23} But the [one] from the bondmaid was born 
according to [the] flesh, but the [one] from the free through the promise. 
\VS{24} Which [things] are allegorical; for these are [the] two contracts\footnote{or ``wills'', ``testaments'', ``covenants''}, one from mount Sinai, having given birth to slavery, which is Hagar. 
\VS{25} So Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and 
corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for it is enslaved with her children. 
\VS{26} But the Jerusalem above is free, which is our mother. 
\VS{27} For it is written:

\begin{verse}
Rejoice, [O] barren not having brought forth, \\
Burst and cry out, the [one] not having suffered birth pains, \\
Because many [more are] the children of the desolate \\
Than of the [one] having the husband.
\end{verse}

\VS{28} But you, brothers according to Isaac, are [the] children of promise. 
\VS{29} But, as then, the [one] having been born according to [the] flesh persecuted 
the [one] according to [the] spirit, thus also now. 
\VS{30} But what says the 
scripture? Throw out the bondmaid and her son, for the son of the bondmaid 
will \negd{not} inherit with the son of the free. 
\VS{31} Therefore, 
brothers, we are not children of [the] bondmaid but of the free.
