(YLT)   And I say, so long time as the heir is a babe, he differeth nothing from a servant -- being lord of all,
(KJV)   Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
(ASV)   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

(YLT)   but is under tutors and stewards till the time appointed of the father,
(KJV)   But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.

3

(GRK)   outwv kai hmeiv ote hmen nhpioi upo ta stoiceia tou kosmou hmen dedoulwmenoi
(YLT)   so also we, when we were babes, under the elements of the world were in servitude,
(KJV)   Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
(ASV)   So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the rudiments of the world:

 

4

(GRK)   ote de hlyen to plhrwma tou cronou exapesteilen o yeov ton uion autou genomenon ek gunaikov genomenon upo nomon
(YLT)   and when the fulness of time did come, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law,
(KJV)   But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
(ASV)   but when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

 

5

(GRK)   ina touv upo nomon exagorash ina thn uioyesian apolabwmen
(YLT)   that those under law he may redeem, that the adoption of sons we may receive;
(KJV)   To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

(YLT)   and because ye are sons, God did send forth the spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, `Abba, Father!'
(KJV)   And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
(ASV)   And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

 

7

(YLT)   so that thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.
(KJV)   Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
(ASV)   So that thou art no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.

 

8

(GRK)   alla tote men ouk eidotev yeon edouleusate toiv mh fusei ousin yeoiv
(YLT)   But then, indeed, not having known God, ye were in servitude to those not by nature gods,
(KJV)   Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
(ASV)   Howbeit at that time, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to them that by nature are no gods:

 

9

(GRK)   nun de gnontev yeon mallon de gnwsyentev upo yeou pwv epistrefete palin epi ta asyenh kai ptwca stoiceia oiv palin anwyen douleuein yelete
(YLT)   and now, having known God -- and rather being known by God -- how turn ye again unto the weak and poor elements to which anew ye desire to be in servitude?
(KJV)   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?
(ASV)   but now that ye have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how turn ye back again to the weak and beggarly rudiments, whereunto ye desire to be in bondage over again?

(YLT)   and ye have known that through infirmity of the flesh I did proclaim good news to you at the first,
(KJV)   Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.
(ASV)   but ye know that because of an infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you the first time:

 

14

(GRK)   kai ton peirasmon mou ton en th sarki mou ouk exouyenhsate oude exeptusate all wv aggelon yeou edexasye me wv criston ihsoun
(YLT)   and my trial that is in my flesh ye did not despise nor reject, but as a messenger of God ye did receive me -- as Christ Jesus;
(KJV)   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.
(ASV)   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.

(YLT)   so that your enemy have I become, being true to you?
(KJV)   Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

(GRK)   all o men ek thv paidiskhv kata sarka gegennhtai o de ek thv eleuyerav dia thv epaggeliav
(YLT)   but he who is of the maid-servant, according to flesh hath been, and he who is of the free-woman, through the promise;
(KJV)   But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
(ASV)   Howbeit the son by the handmaid is born after the flesh; but the son by the freewoman is born through promise.

(KJV)   But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
(ASV)   But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, so also it is now.

 

30

(GRK)   alla ti legei h grafh ekbale thn paidiskhn kai ton uion authv ou gar mh klhronomhsh o uiov thv paidiskhv meta tou uiou thv eleuyerav
(YLT)   but what saith the Writing? `Cast forth the maid-servant and her son, for the son of the maid-servant may not be heir with the son of the free-woman;'
(KJV)   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.
(ASV)   Howbeit what saith the scripture? Cast out the handmaid and her son: for the son of the handmaid shall not inherit with the son of the freewoman.

 

31

(GRK)   ara adelfoi ouk esmen paidiskhv tekna alla thv eleuyerav
(YLT)   then, brethren, we are not a maid-servant's children, but the free-woman's.
(KJV)   So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
(ASV)   Wherefore, brethren, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the freewoman.
