Berean Standard Bible
1λεγω δε εφ οσον χρονον ο κληρονομοσ νηπιοσ εστιν ουδεν διαφερει δουλου κυριοσ παντων ων
1What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he is the owner of everything.
2αλλα υπο επιτροπουσ εστιν και οικονομουσ αχρι τησ προθεσμιασ του πατροσ
2He is subject to guardians and trustees until the date set by his father.
3ουτωσ και ημεισ οτε ημεν νηπιοι υπο τα στοιχεια του κοσμου ημεν δεδουλωμενοι
3So also, when we were children, we were enslaved under the basic principles of the world.
4οτε δε ηλθεν το πληρωμα του χρονου εξαπεστειλεν ο θεοσ τον υιον αυτου γενομενον εκ γυναικοσ γενομενον υπο νομον
4But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
5ινα τουσ υπο νομον εξαγοραση ινα την υιοθεσιαν απολαβωμεν
5to redeem those under the law, that we might receive our adoption as sons.
6οτι δε εστε υιοι εξαπεστειλεν ο θεοσ το πνευμα του υιου αυτου εισ τασ καρδιασ υμων κραζον αββα ο πατηρ
6And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”
7ωστε ουκετι ει δουλοσ αλλ υιοσ ει δε υιοσ και κληρονομοσ θεου δια χριστου
7So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God.
8αλλα τοτε μεν ουκ ειδοτεσ θεον εδουλευσατε τοισ μη φυσει ουσιν θεοισ
8Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.
9νυν δε γνοντεσ θεον μαλλον δε γνωσθεντεσ υπο θεου πωσ επιστρεφετε παλιν επι τα ασθενη και πτωχα στοιχεια οισ παλιν ανωθεν δουλευειν θελετε
9But now that you know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning back to those weak and worthless principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?
10ημερασ παρατηρεισθε και μηνασ και καιρουσ και ενιαυτουσ
10You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
11φοβουμαι υμασ μηπωσ εικη κεκοπιακα εισ υμασ
11I fear for you, that my efforts for you may have been in vain.
12γινεσθε ωσ εγω οτι καγω ωσ υμεισ αδελφοι δεομαι υμων ουδεν με ηδικησατε
12I beg you, brothers, become like me, for I became like you. You have done me no wrong.
13οιδατε δε οτι δι ασθενειαν τησ σαρκοσ ευηγγελισαμην υμιν το προτερον
13You know that it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you.
14και τον πειρασμον μου τον εν τη σαρκι μου ουκ εξουθενησατε ουδε εξεπτυσατε αλλ ωσ αγγελον θεου εδεξασθε με ωσ χριστον ιησουν
14And although my illness was a trial to you, you did not despise or reject me. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus Himself.
15τισ ουν ην ο μακαρισμοσ υμων μαρτυρω γαρ υμιν οτι ει δυνατον τουσ οφθαλμουσ υμων εξορυξαντεσ αν εδωκατε μοι
15What then has become of your blessing? For I can testify that, if it were possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.
16ωστε εχθροσ υμων γεγονα αληθευων υμιν
16Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?
17ζηλουσιν υμασ ου καλωσ αλλα εκκλεισαι υμασ θελουσιν ινα αυτουσ ζηλουτε
17Those people are zealous for you, but not in a good way. Instead, they want to isolate you from us, so that you may be zealous for them.
18καλον δε το ζηλουσθαι εν καλω παντοτε και μη μονον εν τω παρειναι με προσ υμασ
18Nevertheless, it is good to be zealous if it serves a noble purpose—at any time, and not only when I am with you.
19τεκνια μου ουσ παλιν ωδινω αχρι ου μορφωθη χριστοσ εν υμιν
19My children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,
20ηθελον δε παρειναι προσ υμασ αρτι και αλλαξαι την φωνην μου οτι απορουμαι εν υμιν
20how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you.
21λεγετε μοι οι υπο νομον θελοντεσ ειναι τον νομον ουκ ακουετε
21Tell me, you who want to be under the law, do you not understand what the law says?
22γεγραπται γαρ οτι αβρααμ δυο υιουσ εσχεν ενα εκ τησ παιδισκησ και ενα εκ τησ ελευθερασ
22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.
23αλλ ο μεν εκ τησ παιδισκησ κατα σαρκα γεγεννηται ο δε εκ τησ ελευθερασ δια τησ επαγγελιασ
23His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born through the promise.
24ατινα εστιν αλληγορουμενα αυται γαρ εισιν δυο διαθηκαι μια μεν απο ορουσ σινα εισ δουλειαν γεννωσα ητισ εστιν αγαρ
24These things serve as illustrations, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children into slavery: This is Hagar.
25το γαρ αγαρ σινα οροσ εστιν εν τη αραβια συστοιχει δε τη νυν ιερουσαλημ δουλευει δε μετα των τεκνων αυτησ
25Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present-day Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.
26η δε ανω ιερουσαλημ ελευθερα εστιν ητισ εστιν μητηρ παντων ημων
26But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.
27γεγραπται γαρ ευφρανθητι στειρα η ου τικτουσα ρηξον και βοησον η ουκ ωδινουσα οτι πολλα τα τεκνα τησ ερημου μαλλον η τησ εχουσησ τον ανδρα
27For it is written: “Rejoice, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have never travailed; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband.”
28ημεισ δε αδελφοι κατα ισαακ επαγγελιασ τεκνα εσμεν
28Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.
29αλλ ωσπερ τοτε ο κατα σαρκα γεννηθεισ εδιωκεν τον κατα πνευμα ουτωσ και νυν
29At that time, however, the son born by the flesh persecuted the son born by the Spirit. It is the same now.
30αλλα τι λεγει η γραφη εκβαλε την παιδισκην και τον υιον αυτησ ου γαρ μη κληρονομηση ο υιοσ τησ παιδισκησ μετα του υιου τησ ελευθερασ
30But what does the Scripture say? “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.”
31αρα αδελφοι ουκ εσμεν παιδισκησ τεκνα αλλα τησ ελευθερασ
31Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
