GALATIANS

Galatians 4

1As long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all,
Galatians 4:29, Galatians 4:23, Galatians 4:29, Galatians 4:23, Genesis 24:2
2But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father.
3So we also, when we were children, were serving under the elements of the world.
Colossians 2:20, Galatians 4:9, Colossians 2:8, Colossians 2:20, Galatians 4:9
4But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent his Son, made of a woman, made under the law:
Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 7:14, Romans 1:3, John 1:14, Mark 1:15
5That he might redeem them who were under the law: that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Hebrews 9:15, Hebrews 9:15, Ephesians 1:5, Ephesians 1:5, 1 Peter 1:18
6And because you are sons, God hath sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying: Abba, Father.
Romans 8:15, Romans 8:17, Romans 8:15, Romans 8:17, Romans 5:5
7Therefore, now he is not a servant, but a son. And if a son, an heir also through God.
Galatians 3:29, Galatians 4:2, Galatians 3:29, Galatians 4:2, Romans 8:16
8But then indeed, not knowing God, you served them who, by nature, are not gods.
1 Corinthians 8:4, 1 Corinthians 8:4, Ephesians 2:11, Ephesians 2:12, Ephesians 2:11
9But 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?
1 Corinthians 8:3, 1 Corinthians 8:3, Galatians 3:3, Galatians 3:3, Romans 8:3
10You observe days and months and times, and years.
Colossians 2:16, Colossians 2:17, Colossians 2:16, Colossians 2:17, Romans 14:5
11I am afraid of you, lest perhaps I have laboured in vain among you.
1 Thessalonians 3:5, 1 Thessalonians 3:5, Galatians 2:2, Galatians 2:2, 2 John 1:8
12Be ye as I, because I also am as you brethren, I beseech you. You have not injured me at all.
2 Corinthians 2:5, 2 Corinthians 2:5, 1 Kings 22:4, 1 Kings 22:4, 1 Corinthians 9:20
13And you know how, through infirmity of the flesh, I preached the gospel to you heretofore: and your temptation in my flesh
1 Corinthians 2:3, 1 Corinthians 2:3, 2 Corinthians 12:7, 2 Corinthians 12:10, 2 Corinthians 12:7
14You despised not, nor rejected: but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
Matthew 10:40, Matthew 10:40, 1 Thessalonians 2:13, 1 Thessalonians 2:13, Malachi 2:7
15Where 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.
Romans 5:2, Romans 5:2, Colossians 4:13, 1 John 3:16, 1 John 3:18
16Am I then become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
Amos 5:10, Amos 5:10, Proverbs 9:8, Proverbs 9:8, Galatians 5:7
17They are zealous in your regard not well: but they would exclude you, that you might be zealous for them.
Romans 16:18, 2 Corinthians 11:13, 2 Corinthians 11:15, Romans 16:18, 2 Corinthians 11:13
18But be zealous for that which is good in a good thing always: and not only when I am present with you.
Philippians 2:12, Philippians 2:12, Revelation 3:19, Revelation 3:19, Psalms 119:139
19My little children, of whom I am in labour again, until Christ be formed in you.
Romans 8:29, Romans 8:29, Ephesians 4:13, Ephesians 4:13, Romans 13:14
20And I would willingly be present with you now and change my voice: because I am ashamed for you.
1 Thessalonians 2:17, 1 Thessalonians 2:18, 1 Thessalonians 2:17, 1 Thessalonians 2:18, 1 Thessalonians 3:9
21Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, have you not read the law?
Galatians 3:10, Galatians 3:10, Matthew 22:29, Matthew 22:32, Romans 10:3
22For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman and the other by a free woman.
Genesis 16:15, Genesis 16:15, Genesis 21:10, Genesis 21:10, Genesis 21:1
23But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh: but he of the free woman was by promise.
Hebrews 11:11, Hebrews 11:11, Romans 9:7, Romans 9:8, Romans 9:7
24Which things are said by an allegory. For these are the two testaments. The one from Mount Sina, engendering unto bondage, which is Agar.
Genesis 25:12, Genesis 16:15, Genesis 16:16, Matthew 13:35, Hosea 11:10
25For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is: and is in bondage with her children.
Psalms 68:17, Psalms 68:8, Acts 1:11, Matthew 23:37, Judges 5:5
26But that Jerusalem which is above is free: which is our mother.
Hebrews 12:22, Hebrews 12:22, Philippians 3:20, Philippians 3:20, Micah 4:1
27For 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.
Isaiah 54:1, Isaiah 54:5, Isaiah 54:1, Isaiah 54:5, Psalms 113:9
28Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
Galatians 4:23, Galatians 4:23, Romans 9:8, Romans 9:9, Romans 9:8
29But as then he that was born according to the flesh persecuted him that was after the spirit: so also it is now.
Genesis 21:9, Genesis 21:9, Romans 8:13, Galatians 5:11, Romans 8:13
30But 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.
Genesis 21:10, Genesis 21:12, Genesis 21:10, Genesis 21:12, John 8:35
31So then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman but of the free: by the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free.
John 8:36, John 8:36, Galatians 5:1, Galatians 5:13, John 1:12
