Galatians 4:9-23 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

9. But now after you have known Elohim, or rather are known by Elohim, how do you turn again to the weak and poor elementary matters, to which you wish to be enslaved again?

10. You observe days and months and seasons and years.

11. I fear for you, lest by any means I have laboured for you in vain.

12. Brothers, I beg you to become as I am, because I am as you are. You did not wrong me at all.

13. But you know that through weakness of the flesh I brought the Good News to you before.

14. And my trial which was in my flesh you did not despise or reject, but you received me as a messenger of Elohim, as Messiah יהושע.

15. What then was your blessedness? For I bear you witness, that if possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me.

16. So then, have I become your enemy, speaking truth to you?

17. They are ardent towards you, for no good, but they wish to shut you out, that you might be ardent towards them.

18. And it is good always to be ardent in what is good, and not only when I am present with you.

19. My little children, for whom I am again in birth pains until Messiah is formed in you,

20. even now I wish to be present with you now and to change my voice, for I have doubts about you.

21. Say to me, you who wish to be under Torah, do you not hear the Torah?

22. For it has been written that Aḇraham had two sons, one by a female servant, the other by a free woman.

23. But he who was of the female servant was born according to the flesh, and he of the free woman through promise.
