evealed. (24)So that the law has become our schoolmaster,
unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. (25)But faith having
come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. (26)For ye are all sons
of God by faith in Christ Jesus. (27)For all ye who were immersed unto
Christ[3:27], did put on Christ. (28)There is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither bond nor free, there is no male and female; for ye
are all one in Christ Jesus. (29)And if ye are Christ's, then are ye
Abraham's seed, heirs according to the promise.

IV.

NOW I say, as long as the heir is a child, he differs in nothing from
a servant though he is lord of all; (2)but is under guardians and
stewards, until the time appointed by the father. (3)So also we, when
we were children, were held in bondage under the elements[4:3] of the
world. (4)But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his
son, born of a woman, born under law, (5)that he might redeem those
under law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. (6)And because
ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts,

am afraid of you, lest by any means I have bestowed labor upon you in
vain.

(12)Become as I am, for I also became as ye are, brethren, I beseech
you. Ye injured me in nothing. (13)Nay, ye know that by reason of
weakness of the flesh I preached the glad tidings to you the former
time; (14)and my trial[4:14], which was in my flesh, ye despised not
nor spurned, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.
(15)Where is[4:15] then the happiness of which ye spoke? For I bear
you witness, that if possible, ye would have plucked out your eyes,
and given them to me. (16)So then, have I become your enemy, because I
tell you the truth? (17)They zealously seek you, not well; but they
wish to exclude you, that ye may zealously seek them. (18)But it is
good to be zealously sought in a good cause always, and not only when
I am present with you. (19)My little children, of whom I travail ag
