Galatians 4

Treated in 30 passages across the library.

  • 4:6 And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 11
  • 4:19 My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you— 7
  • 4:4 but when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 3
  • 4:15 Where then is that gratulation of yourselves? for I bear you witness, that, if possible, ye would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me. 3
  • 4:1 But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a bondservant though he is lord of all; 2
  • 4:5 that he might redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 2
  • 4:13 but ye know that because of an infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you the first time: 2
  • 4:2 but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed of the father. 1
  • 4:3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the rudiments of the world: 1
  • 4:7 So that thou art no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God. 1
  • 4:11 I am afraid of you, lest by any means I have bestowed labor upon you in vain. 1
  • 4:14 and that which was a temptation to you in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but ye received me as an angel of God, [even] as Christ Jesus. 1
  • 4:16 So then am I become your enemy, by telling you the truth? 1
  • 4:17 They zealously seek you in no good way; nay, they desire to shut you out, that ye may seek them. 1
  • 4:18 But it is good to be zealously sought in a good matter at all times, and not only when I am present with you. 1
  • 4:21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? 1
  • 4:22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the handmaid, and one by the freewoman. 1
  • 4:23 Howbeit the [son] by the handmaid is born after the flesh; but the [son] by the freewoman [is born] through promise. 1
  • 4:24 Which things contain an allegory: for these [women] are two covenants; one from mount Sinai, bearing children unto bondage, which is Hagar. 1
  • 4:25 Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia and answereth to the Jerusalem that now is: for she is in bondage with her children. 1
  • 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother. 1
  • 4:27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; Break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: For more are the children of the desolate than of her that hath the husband. 1
  • 4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him [that was born] after the Spirit, so also it is now. 1
