But I say that as long as the heir is a child, he is not different from a servant, though he is master of all of them;

but he is under guardians and stewards of the house until the time his father set.

So also we, when we were children, were subjected under the elements of the world.

But when the fullness of the time came, Elohim sent his Son, and he was from a woman, and he was under the law,

that he might buy those who are under the law, and that we might receive the placement of sons.

And because you are sons, Elohim has sent the Ruach of his Son into your hearts, who cries, Abba, our Father.

So then you are no longer servants, but sons; and if sons, also heirs of Elohim through Y'shua the Mashiyach.

For then, when you did not know Elohim, you served those who by their nature are not Elohim.

But now that you have known Elohim, and rather that you have been known by Elohim, you turn again to those weak and poor elements, and wish again from the start to be subjected to them.

You observe days and months and times and years.

I am afraid lest I have labored among you in vain.

Be like me, because I also was like you. My brothers, I beg of you. You have wronged me in nothing.

For you know that in the weakness of my flesh I announced the good news to you from the first.

and the trial in my flesh you did not despise and did not reject, but you received me as a messenger of Elohim and as Y'shua the Mashiyach.

Where then is your blessedness? For I testify concerning you that if it had been possible, you would have dug out your eyes and given them to me.

Have I become an enemy to you because I proclaimed the truth to you?

They are jealous for you, not for what is good, but they want to shut you in so that you will be jealous for them.

But it is good that you be jealous for what is good at all times, and not only when I am with you.

You are my children, of whom I am again in birth-labor until Mashiyach is formed in you.

I was wishing to be with you now and to change the tone of my voice, because I am astonished at you.

Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law?

For it is written that Avraham had two sons, one from the bondmaid and one from the free woman.

But he who was from the bondmaid was born after the flesh, and he who was from the free woman was by the promise.

Now these are allegories of the two covenants; the one from mount Sinai, which gives birth to bondage, is Hagar.

For Hagar is the mountain Sinai that is in Arabia, and she corresponds to this Urishlim, and she is serving in bondage, she and her children.

But the Urishlim above is free, who is our mother.

For it is written, Rejoice, barren one who does not bear, and exult and shout, you who have not travailed: for more numerous are the children of the desolate than the children of the married woman.

But we, my brothers, like Yitz'chak, are children of the promise.

And as then, he who was born after the flesh persecuted him who was born of the Spirit; so also is it now.

But what does the writing say? Cast out the bondmaid and her son, because the son of the bondmaid will not inherit with the son of the free woman.

So then, my brothers, we are not sons of the bond-woman, but sons of the free woman.
