G3588–ὁ–ho

Why then was the Law given? It was imposed later on for the sake of defining sin, until the seed should come to whom God had made the promise; and its details were laid down by a mediator with the help of angels.

ὁ ho “the”τῶν tōn “<the>”τὸ to “the”

But there cannot be a mediator where only one individual is concerned.

ὁ ho “<the>”ὁ ho “<the>”

God, however, is only one. Is the Law then opposed to the promises of God? No, indeed; for if a Law had been given which could have conferred Life, righteousness would certainly have come by the Law.

Ὁ Ho “The”τῶν tōn “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”ὁ ho “which”ἡ hē “<the>”

But Scripture has shown that all mankind are the prisoners of sin, in order that the promised blessing, which depends on faith in Jesus Christ, may be given to those who believe.

ἡ hē “the”τὰ ta “<the> [things]”ἡ hē “the”τοῖς tois “to those”

Before this faith came, we Jews were perpetual prisoners under the Law, living under restraints and limitations in preparation for the faith which was soon to be revealed.

τοῦ tou “<the>”τὴν tēn “<the>”τὴν tēn “which”

So that the Law has acted the part of a tutor-slave to lead us to Christ, in order that through faith we may be declared to be free from guilt.

ὁ ho “the”

But now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor-slave.

τῆς tēs “the”

You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus;

τῆς tēs “<the>”

And if you belong to Christ, then you are indeed true descendants of Abraham, and are heirs in fulfilment of the promise.

τοῦ tou “<the>”

Now I say that so long as an heir is a child, he in no respect differs from a slave, although he is the owner of everything,

ὁ ho “the”

but he is under the control of guardians and trustees until the time his father has appointed.

τῆς tēs “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

So we also, when spiritually we were children, were subject to the world's rudimentary notions, and were enslaved.

τὰ ta “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

But, when the time was fully come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born subject to Law,

τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “of the”ὁ ho “<the>”τὸν ton “the”

in order to purchase the freedom of all who were subject to Law, so that we might receive recognition as sons.

τοὺς tous “those”τὴν tēn “the”

And because you are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of His Son to enter your hearts and cry "Abba! our Father!"

ὁ ho “<the>”τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τὰς tas “the”ὁ ho “O”

But at one time, you Gentiles, having no knowledge of God, were slaves to gods which in reality do not exist.

τοῖς tois “to those”

Now, however, having come to know God--or rather to be known by Him--how is it you are again turning back to weak and worthless rudimentary notions to which you are once more willing to be enslaved?

τὰ ta “the”

And you know that in those early days it was on account of bodily infirmity that I proclaimed the Good News to you,

τῆς tēs “of the”τὸ to “at the”

and yet the bodily infirmity which was such a trial to you, you did not regard with contempt or loathing, but you received me as if I had been an angel of God or Christ Jesus Himself!

τὸν ton “the”τὸν ton “<the>”τῇ tēa “the”

I ask you, then, what has become of your self-congratulations? For I bear you witness that had it been possible you would have torn out your own eyes and have given them to me.

ὁ ho “the”τοὺς tous “the”

It is always an honourable thing to be courted in an honourable cause; always, and not only when I am with you, my children--

τὸ to “<the>”τῷ tō “<the>”

Would that I were with you and could change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

τὴν tēn “the”

Tell me--you who want to continue to be subject to Law--will you not listen to the Law?

οἱ hoi “you who [are]”τὸν ton “the”

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave-girl and one by the free woman.

τῆς tēs “the”τῆς tēs “the”

But we see that the child of the slave-girl was born in the common course of nature; but the child of the free woman in fulfilment of the promise.

ὁ ho “the [one]”τῆς tēs “the”ὁ ho “the [one]”τῆς tēs “the”τῆς tēs “the”
