Gal 4:10 You observe days and months and seasons and years.
Gal 4:11 I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain.
Gal 4:12 ¶ I beg of you, brethren, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong;
Gal 4:13 but you know that it was because of a bodily illness that I preached the gospel to you the first time;
Gal 4:14 and that which was a trial to you in my bodily condition you did not despise or loathe, but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus Himself.
Gal 4:15 Where then is that sense of blessing you had? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.
Gal 4:16 So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
Gal 4:17 They eagerly seek you, not commendably, but they wish to shut you out so that you will seek them.
Gal 4:18 But it is good always to be eagerly sought in a commendable manner, and not only when I am present with you.
Gal 4:19 My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you--
Gal 4:20 but I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
Gal 4:21 ¶ Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the law?
Gal 4:22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondwoman and one by the free woman.
Gal 4:23 But the son by the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise.
Gal 4:24 This is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants: one proceeding from Mount Sinai bearing children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar.
Gal 4:25 Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.
Gal 4:26 But the Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother.
Gal 4:27 For it is written, "REJOICE, BARREN WOMAN WHO DOES NOT BEAR; BREAK FORTH AND SHOUT, YOU WHO ARE NOT IN LABOR; FOR MORE NUMEROUS ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE DESOLATE THAN OF THE ONE WHO HAS A HUSBAND."
Gal 4:28 And you brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise.
Gal 4:29 But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also.
