Löydetty 19150 Tulokset: Or
There is an allegory here: these women stand for the two covenants. The one given on Mount Sinai -- that is Hagar, whose children are born into slavery; (Galatians 4, 24)
now Sinai is a mountain in Arabia and represents Jerusalem in its present state, for she is in slavery together with her children. (Galatians 4, 25)
as scripture says: Shout for joy, you barren woman who has borne no children! Break into shouts of joy, you who were never in labour. For the sons of the forsaken one are more in number than the sons of the wedded wife. (Galatians 4, 27)
just as at that time, the child born in the way of human nature persecuted the child born through the Spirit, so now. (Galatians 4, 29)
I, Paul, give you my word that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you at all. (Galatians 5, 2)
since in Christ Jesus it is not being circumcised or being uncircumcised that can effect anything -- only faith working through love. (Galatians 5, 6)
But I feel sure that, united in the Lord, you will not be led astray, and that anyone who makes trouble with you will be condemned, no matter who he is. (Galatians 5, 10)
And I, brothers -- if I were still preaching circumcision, why should I still be persecuted? For then the obstacle which is the cross would have no point any more. (Galatians 5, 11)
After all, brothers, you were called to be free; do not use your freedom as an opening for self-indulgence, but be servants to one another in love, (Galatians 5, 13)
When self-indulgence is at work the results are obvious: sexual vice, impurity, and sensuality, (Galatians 5, 19)
the worship of false gods and sorcery; antagonisms and rivalry, jealousy, bad temper and quarrels, disagreements, (Galatians 5, 20)
factions and malice, drunkenness, orgies and all such things. And about these, I tell you now as I have told you in the past, that people who behave in these ways will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5, 21)
