48:003:023 But before faith came, we were kept under
the law, shut up
unto
the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
48:003:024 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster
to bring us unto
Christ,
that we might be justified by faith.
48:003:025 But after that faith is come, we are no
longer under a
schoolmaster.
48:003:026 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
48:003:027 For as many of you as have been baptized
into Christ have put
on
Christ.
48:003:028 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is
neither bond nor
free,
there is neither male nor female: for ye are all
one in
Christ
Jesus.
48:003:029 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye
Abraham’s seed, and heirs
according
to the promise.
48:004:001 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he
is a child, differeth
nothing
from a servant, though he be lord of all;
48:004:002 But is under tutors and governors until
the time appointed of
the
father.
48:004:003 Even so we, when we were children, were
in bondage under the
elements
of the world:
48:004:004 But when the fulness of the time was come,
God sent forth his
Son,
made of a woman, made under the law,
48:004:005 To redeem them that were under the law,
that we might receive
the
adoption of sons.
48:004:006 And because ye are sons, God hath sent
forth the Spirit of his
Son
into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
48:004:007 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but
a son; and if a son,
then
an heir of God through Christ.
48:004:008 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye
did service unto them
which
by nature are no gods.
48:004:009 But now, after that ye have known God,
or rather are known of
God,
how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements,
whereunto
ye desire again to be in bondage?
48:004:010 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
48:004:011 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed
upon you labour in
vain.
48:004:012 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for
I am as ye are: ye
have
not injured me at all.
48:004:013 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh
I preached the
gospel
unto you at the first.
48:004:014 And my temptation which was in my flesh
ye despised not, nor
rejected;
but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ
Jesus.
48:004:015 Where is then the blessedness ye spake
of? for I bear you
record,
that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked
out
your own eyes, and have given them to me.
