Gálatas 4 Versión King James (con apócrifos)
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), en inglés, leído por Winfred W. Henson · Sobre las grabaciones
1 Now I say, [That] the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
1 But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all,
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
2 but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.
3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
5 that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as children.
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
6 And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
7 So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
8 However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.
9 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?
9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?
10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
10 You observe days, months, seasons, and years.
11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
11 I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.
12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I [am]; for I [am] as ye [are]: ye have not injured me at all.
12 I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong,
13 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.
13 but you know that because of weakness in the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time.
14 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.
14 That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn’t despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
15 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.
15 What was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.
16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
16 So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
17 They zealously affect you, [but] not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.
17 They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate you, that you may seek them.
18 But [it is] good to be zealously affected always in [a] good [thing], and not only when I am present with you.
18 But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.
19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
19 My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you—
20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
20 but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
21 Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don’t you listen to the law?
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant, and one by the free woman.
23 But he [who was] of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman [was] by promise.
23 However, the son by the servant was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
24 These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
25 For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27 For it is written, Rejoice, [thou] barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
27 For it is written, “Rejoice, you barren who don’t bear. Break out and shout, you who don’t travail. For the desolate women have more children than her who has a husband.”
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
28 Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him [that was born] after the Spirit, even so [it is] now.
29 But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
30 However, what does the Scripture say? “Throw out the servant and her son, for the son of the servant will not inherit with the son of the free woman.”
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
31 So then, brothers, we are not children of a servant, but of the free woman.

Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo.

… in what sense [God] says, "That is a people who was not a people; and she is beloved who was not beloved;" and in what sense He says that "more are the children of her that was desolate, than of her who possessed a husband." For in reference to these points, and others of a like nature, the apostle exclaims: …
For she had "been the wife of one man," had requited her parents, had guided her house piously, was "well-reported of for good works," had "brought up children," as often travailing in birth of them as she saw them swerving from Thee.

For that He did come forth of the Virgin's flesh, He hath declared by speaking of "that which was conceived in her;" and Paul, by saying, "made of a woman;" whereby he stops the mouths of them that say, Christ came among us as through some conduit.
