NowG1161 I sayG3004, That the heirG2818, as long asG1909+G3745+G5550 he isG2076 a childG3516, differethG1308 nothingG3762 from a servantG1401, though he beG5607 lordG2962 of allG3956;
ButG235 isG2076 underG5259 tutorsG2012 andG2532 governorsG3623 untilG891 the time appointedG4287 of the fatherG3962.
EvenG2532 soG3779 weG2249, whenG3753 we wereG2258 childrenG3516, wereG2258 in bondageG1402 underG5259 the elementsG4747 of the worldG2889: {elements: or, rudiments}
ButG1161 whenG3753 the fulnessG4138 of the timeG5550 was comeG2064, GodG2316 sent forthG1821 hisG846 SonG5207, madeG1096 ofG1537 a womanG1135, madeG1096 underG5259 the lawG3551,
ToG2443 redeemG1805 them that were underG5259 the lawG3551, thatG2443 we might receiveG618 the adoption of sonsG5206.
AndG1161 becauseG3754 ye areG2075 sonsG5207, GodG2316 hath sent forthG1821 the SpiritG4151 of hisG846 SonG5207 intoG1519 yourG5216 heartsG2588, cryingG2896, AbbaG5, FatherG3962.
WhereforeG5620 thou artG1488 no moreG3765 a servantG1401, butG235 a sonG5207; andG1161 ifG1487 a sonG5207, thenG2532 an heirG2818 of GodG2316 throughG1223 ChristG5547.
HowbeitG235 thenG5119+G3303, when ye knewG1492 notG3756 GodG2316, ye did serviceG1398 unto them which by natureG5449 areG5607 noG3361 godsG2316.
ButG1161 nowG3568, after that ye have knownG1097 GodG2316, orG1161 ratherG3123 are knownG1097 ofG5259 GodG2316, howG4459 turn yeG1994 againG3825 toG1909 the weakG772 andG2532 beggarlyG4434 elementsG4747, whereuntoG3739 ye desireG2309 againG3825+G509 to be in bondageG1398? {turn ye again: or, turn ye back} {elements: or, rudiments}
Ye observeG3906 daysG2250, andG2532 monthsG3376, andG2532 timesG2540, andG2532 yearsG1763.
I am afraidG5399 of youG5209, lestG3381+G4458 I have bestowedG2872 uponG1519 youG5209 labourG2872 in vainG1500.
BrethrenG80, I beseechG1189 youG5216, beG1096 asG5613 IG1473 am; forG3754 IG2504 am asG5613 yeG5210 are: ye have not injuredG91 meG3165 at allG3762.
Ye knowG1492 howG3754 throughG1223 infirmityG769 of the fleshG4561 I preached the gospelG2097 unto youG5213 at the firstG4386.
AndG2532 myG3450 temptationG3986 which was inG1722 myG3450 fleshG4561 ye despisedG1848 notG3756, norG3761 rejectedG1609; butG235 receivedG1209 meG3165 asG5613 an angelG32 of GodG2316, even asG5613 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
WhereG5101 isG2258 thenG3767 the blessednessG3108 yeG5216 spake of? forG1063 I bearG3140 youG5213 recordG3140, thatG3754, ifG1487 it had been possibleG1415, ye would have plucked outG1846 yourG5216 own eyesG3788, and have given themG302+G1325 to meG3427. {Where…: or, What was then}
Am IG1096 thereforeG5620 becomeG1096 yourG5216 enemyG2190, because I tellG226 youG5213 the truthG226?
They zealously affectG2206 youG5209, but notG3756 wellG2573; yeaG235, they wouldG2309 excludeG1576 youG5209, thatG2443 ye might affectG2206 themG846. {exclude you: or, exclude us}
ButG1161 it is goodG2570 to be zealously affectedG2206 alwaysG3842 inG1722 a goodG2570 thing, andG2532 notG3361 onlyG3440 whenG1722 IG3165 am presentG3918 withG4314 youG5209.
MyG3450 little childrenG5040, of whomG3739 I travail in birthG5605 againG3825 untilG891+G3739 ChristG5547 be formedG3445 inG1722 youG5213,
I desireG2309 to be presentG3918 withG4314 youG5209 nowG737, andG2532 to changeG236 myG3450 voiceG5456; forG3754 I stand in doubtG639 ofG1722 youG5213. {I stand…: or, I am perplexed for you} {I stand…: or, I am perplexed for you}
TellG3004 meG3427, ye that desireG2309 to beG1511 underG5259 the lawG3551, do yeG191 notG3756 hearG191 the lawG3551?
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, thatG3754 AbrahamG11 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5207, the oneG1520 byG1537 a bondmaidG3814+G2532, the otherG1520 byG1537 a freewomanG1658.
ButG235 heG3303 who was ofG1537 the bondwomanG3814 was bornG1080 afterG2596 the fleshG4561; butG1161 he ofG1537 the freewomanG1658 was byG1223 promiseG1860.
Which thingsG3748 areG2076 an allegoryG238: forG1063 theseG3778 areG1526 the twoG1417 covenantsG1242; the oneG3391+G3303 fromG575 the mountG3735 SinaiG4614, which genderethG1080 toG1519 bondageG1397, whichG3748 isG2076 AgarG28. {covenants: or, testaments} {Sinai: Gr. Sina}
ForG1063 this AgarG28 isG2076 mountG3735 SinaiG4614 inG1722 ArabiaG688, andG1161 answerethG4960 to JerusalemG2419 whichG3588 now isG3568, andG1161 is in bondageG1398 withG3326 herG846 childrenG5043. {answereth to: or, is in the same rank with}
ButG1161 JerusalemG2419 which is aboveG507 isG2076 freeG1658, whichG3748 isG2076 the motherG3384 of usG2257 allG3956.
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, RejoiceG2165, thou barrenG4723 that bearestG5088 notG3756; break forthG4486 andG2532 cryG994, thou that travailestG5605 notG3756: forG3754 the desolateG2048 hath many moreG4183 childrenG5043 thanG3123+G2228 she which hathG2192 an husbandG435.
NowG1161 weG2249, brethrenG80, asG2596 IsaacG2464 wasG2596, areG2070 the childrenG5043 of promiseG1860.
ButG235 asG5618 thenG5119 he that was bornG1080 afterG2596 the fleshG4561 persecutedG1377 him that was born afterG2596 the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 soG3779 it is nowG3568.
NeverthelessG235 whatG5101 saithG3004 the scriptureG1124? Cast outG1544 the bondwomanG3814 andG2532 herG846 sonG5207: forG1063 the sonG5207 of the bondwomanG3814 shallG2816 notG3364 be heirG2816 withG3326 the sonG5207 of the freewomanG1658.
So thenG686, brethrenG80, we areG2070 notG3756 childrenG5043 of the bondwomanG3814, butG235 of the freeG1658.

Glorious thingsH3513 are spokenH1696 of thee, O cityH5892 of GodH430. SelahH5542.
I will make mentionH2142 of RahabH7294 and BabylonH894 to them that knowH3045 me: behold PhilistiaH6429, and TyreH6865, with EthiopiaH3568; this man was bornH3205 there.
And of ZionH6726 it shall be saidH559, This and that manH376 was bornH3205 in her: and the highestH5945 himself shall establishH3559 her.
The LORDH3068 shall countH5608, when he writeth upH3789 the peopleH5971, that this man was bornH3205 there. SelahH5542.
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, thatG3754 AbrahamG11 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5207, the oneG1520 byG1537 a bondmaidG3814+G2532, the otherG1520 byG1537 a freewomanG1658.
O thatH5414 thou wert as my brotherH251, that suckedH3243 the breastsH7699 of my motherH517! when I should findH4672 thee withoutH2351, I would kissH5401 thee; yea, I should not be despisedH936. {I should not…: Heb. they should not despise me}
And it shall come to pass in the lastH319 daysH3117, that the mountainH2022 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004 shall be establishedH3559 in the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022, and shall be exaltedH5375 above the hillsH1389; and all nationsH1471 shall flowH5102 unto it. {established: or, prepared}
Stand fastG4739 thereforeG3767 in the libertyG1657 wherewithG3739 ChristG5547 hath madeG1659 usG2248 freeG1659, andG2532 beG1758 notG3361 entangledG1758 againG3825 with the yokeG2218 of bondageG1397.
I would leadH5090 thee, and bringH935 thee into my mother'sH517 houseH1004, who would instructH3925 me: I would cause thee to drinkH8248 of spicedH7544 wineH3196 of the juiceH6071 of my pomegranateH7416.
And manyH7227 peopleH5971 shall goH1980 and sayH559, ComeH3212 ye, and let us go upH5927 to the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068, to the houseH1004 of the GodH430 of JacobH3290; and he will teachH3384 us of his waysH1870, and we will walkH3212 in his pathsH734: for out of ZionH6726 shall go forthH3318 the lawH8451, and the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 from JerusalemH3389.
IfG1437 the SonG5207 thereforeG3767 shall makeG1659 youG5209 freeG1659, ye shall beG2071 freeG1658 indeedG3689.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Where is the billH5612 of your mother'sH517 divorcementH3748, whom I have put awayH7971? or which of my creditorsH5383 is it to whom I have soldH4376 you? Behold, for your iniquitiesH5771 have ye soldH4376 yourselves, and for your transgressionsH6588 is your motherH517 put awayH7971.
Break forth into joyH6476, singH7442 togetherH3162, ye waste placesH2723 of JerusalemH3389: for the LORDH3068 hath comfortedH5162 his peopleH5971, he hath redeemedH1350 JerusalemH3389.
ForG1063 sinG266 shallG2961 notG3756 have dominion overG2961 youG5216: forG1063 ye areG2075 notG3756 underG5259 the lawG3551, butG235 underG5259 graceG5485.
PleadH7378 with your motherH517, pleadH7378: for she is not my wifeH802, neither am I her husbandH376: let her therefore put awayH5493 her whoredomsH2183 out of her sightH6440, and her adulteriesH5005 from between her breastsH7699;
For Zion'sH6726 sake will I not hold my peaceH2814, and for Jerusalem'sH3389 sake I will not restH8252, until the righteousnessH6664 thereof go forthH3318 as brightnessH5051, and the salvationH3444 thereof as a lampH3940 that burnethH1197.
BeingG1659 thenG1161 made freeG1659 fromG575 sinG266, ye became the servantsG1402 of righteousnessG1343.
For their motherH517 hath played the harlotH2181: she that conceivedH2029 them hath done shamefullyH3001: for she saidH559, I will goH3212 afterH310 my loversH157, that giveH5414 me my breadH3899 and my waterH4325, my woolH6785 and my flaxH6593, mine oilH8081 and my drinkH8250. {drink: Heb. drinks}
And the GentilesH1471 shall seeH7200 thy righteousnessH6664, and all kingsH4428 thy gloryH3519: and thou shalt be calledH7121 by a newH2319 nameH5344, which the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 shall nameH8034.
AsG5613 freeG1658, andG2532 notG3361 usingG2192 your libertyG1657 forG5613 a clokeG1942 of maliciousnessG2549, butG235 asG5613 the servantsG1401 of GodG2316. {using: Gr. having}
Therefore shalt thou fallH3782 in the dayH3117, and the prophetH5030 also shall fallH3782 with thee in the nightH3915, and I will destroyH1820 thy motherH517. {destroy: Heb. cut off}
But be ye gladH7797 and rejoiceH1523 for everH5703 in that which I createH1254: for, behold, I createH1254 JerusalemH3389 a rejoicingH1525, and her peopleH5971 a joyH4885.
AndG2532 uponG1909 herG846 foreheadG3359 was a nameG3686 writtenG1125, MYSTERYG3466, BABYLONG897 THE GREATG3173, THE MOTHERG3384 OF HARLOTSG4204 ANDG2532 ABOMINATIONSG946 OF THE EARTHG1093. {harlots: or, fornications}
RejoiceH8055 ye with JerusalemH3389, and be gladH1523 with her, all ye that loveH157 her: rejoiceH7797 for joyH4885 with her, all ye that mournH56 for her:
So shall ye knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430 dwellingH7931 in ZionH6726, my holyH6944 mountainH2022: then shall JerusalemH3389 be holyH6944, and there shall no strangersH2114 pass throughH5674 her any more. {holy: Heb. holiness}
But in the lastH319 daysH3117 it shall come to pass, that the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 shall be establishedH3559 in the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022, and it shall be exaltedH5375 above the hillsH1389; and peopleH5971 shall flowH5102 unto it.
And manyH7227 nationsH1471 shall comeH1980, and sayH559, ComeH3212, and let us go upH5927 to the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068, and to the houseH1004 of the GodH430 of JacobH3290; and he will teachH3384 us of his waysH1870, and we will walkH3212 in his pathsH734: for the lawH8451 shall go forthH3318 of ZionH6726, and the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 from JerusalemH3389.
ForG1063 ourG2257 conversationG4175 isG5225 inG1722 heavenG3772; fromG1537 whenceG3739 alsoG2532 we look forG553 the SaviourG4990, the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: {conversation…: or, we live or conduct ourselves as citizens of heaven, or, for obtaining heaven}
ButG235 ye are comeG4334 unto mountG3735 SionG4622, andG2532 unto the cityG4172 of the livingG2198 GodG2316, the heavenlyG2032 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 to an innumerable companyG3461 of angelsG32,
HimG846 that overcomethG3528 will I makeG4160 a pillarG4769 inG1722 the templeG3485 of myG3450 GodG2316, andG2532 he shall goG1831 noG3364 moreG2089 outG1854: andG2532 I will writeG1125 uponG1909 himG846 the nameG3686 of myG3450 GodG2316, andG2532 the nameG3686 of the cityG4172 of myG3450 GodG2316, which isG3588 newG2537 JerusalemG2419, whichG3588 cometh downG2597 out ofG1537 heavenG3772 fromG575 myG3450 GodG2316: andG2532 I will write upon him myG3450 newG2537 nameG3686.
AndG2532 IG1473 JohnG2491 sawG1492 the holyG40 cityG4172, newG2537 JerusalemG2419, coming downG2597 fromG575 GodG2316 out ofG1537 heavenG3772, preparedG2090 asG5613 a brideG3565 adornedG2885 for herG846 husbandG435.
AndG2532 he carriedG667 meG3165 awayG667 inG1722 the spiritG4151 toG1909 a greatG3173 andG2532 highG5308 mountainG3735, andG2532 shewedG1166 meG3427 that greatG3173 cityG4172, the holyG40 JerusalemG2419, descendingG2597 out ofG1537 heavenG3772 fromG575 GodG2316,
HavingG2192 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316: andG2532 herG846 lightG5458 was likeG3664 unto a stoneG3037 most preciousG5093, even likeG5613 a jasperG2393 stoneG3037, clear as crystalG2929;
AndG5037 hadG2192 a wallG5038 greatG3173 andG2532 highG5308, and hadG2192 twelveG1427 gatesG4440, andG2532 atG1909 the gatesG4440 twelveG1427 angelsG32, andG2532 namesG3686 written thereonG1924, whichG3739 areG2076 the names of the twelveG1427 tribesG5443 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474:
OnG575 the eastG395 threeG5140 gatesG4440; onG575 the northG1005 threeG5140 gatesG4440; onG575 the southG3558 threeG5140 gatesG4440; andG2532 onG575 the westG1424 threeG5140 gatesG4440.
AndG2532 the wallG5038 of the cityG4172 hadG2192 twelveG1427 foundationsG2310, andG2532 inG1722 themG846 the namesG3686 of the twelveG1427 apostlesG652 of the LambG721.
AndG2532 he that talkedG2980 withG3326 meG1700 hadG2192 a goldenG5552 reedG2563 toG2443 measureG3354 the cityG4172, andG2532 the gatesG4440 thereofG846, andG2532 the wallG5038 thereofG846.
AndG2532 the cityG4172 liethG2749 foursquareG5068, andG2532 the lengthG3372+G846 isG2076 as largeG5118 asG3745+G2532 the breadthG4114: andG2532 he measuredG3354 the cityG4172 with the reedG2563+G1909, twelveG1427 thousandG5505 furlongsG4712. The lengthG3372 andG2532 the breadthG4114 andG2532 the heightG5311 of itG846 areG2076 equalG2470.
AndG2532 he measuredG3354 the wallG5038 thereofG846, an hundredG1540 and fortyG5062 and fourG5064 cubitsG4083, according to the measureG3358 of a manG444, that isG3603, of the angelG32.
AndG2532 the buildingG1739 of the wallG5038 of itG846 wasG2258 of jasperG2393: andG2532 the cityG4172 was pureG2513 goldG5553, likeG3664 unto clearG2513 glassG5194.
AndG2532 the foundationsG2310 of the wallG5038 of the cityG4172 were garnished withG2885 all manner ofG3956 preciousG5093 stonesG3037. The firstG4413 foundationG2310 was jasperG2393; the secondG1208, sapphireG4552; the thirdG5154, a chalcedonyG5472; the fourthG5067, an emeraldG4665;
The fifthG3991, sardonyxG4557; the sixthG1623, sardiusG4556; the seventhG1442, chrysoliteG5555; the eighthG3590, berylG969; the ninthG1766, a topazG5116; the tenthG1182, a chrysoprasusG5556; the eleventhG1734, a jacinthG5192; the twelfthG1428, an amethystG271.
AndG2532 the twelveG1427 gatesG4440 were twelveG1427 pearlsG3135; everyG1538+G303 severalG1520 gateG4440 wasG2258 ofG1537 oneG1520 pearlG3135: andG2532 the streetG4113 of the cityG4172 was pureG2513 goldG5553, as it wereG5613 transparentG1307 glassG5194.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 noG3756 templeG3485 thereinG1722+G846: forG1063 the LordG2962 GodG2316 AlmightyG3841 andG2532 the LambG721 areG2076 the templeG3485 of itG846.
AndG2532 the cityG4172 hadG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of the sunG2246, neitherG3761 of the moonG4582, toG2443 shineG5316 inG1722 itG846: forG1063 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 did lightenG5461 itG846, andG2532 the LambG721 is the lightG3088 thereofG846.
AndG2532 the nationsG1484 of them which are savedG4982 shall walkG4043 inG1722 the lightG5457 of itG846: andG2532 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093 do bringG5342 theirG846 gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092 intoG1519 itG846.
AndG2532 the gatesG4440 of itG846 shallG2808 notG3364 be shutG2808 at allG3364 by dayG2250: forG1063 there shall beG2071 noG3756 nightG3571 thereG1563.
AndG2532 they shall bringG5342 the gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092 of the nationsG1484 intoG1519 itG846.
AndG2532 there shallG1525 in no wiseG3364 enterG1525 intoG1519 itG846 any thingG3956 that defilethG2840, neitherG2532 whatsoever workethG4160 abominationG946, orG2532 maketh a lieG5579: butG1508 they which are writtenG1125 inG1722 the Lamb'sG721 bookG975 of lifeG2222.
