Galatians 4:31 So then, brothers, we are not children of the female slave, but of the free. It is to renewed and holy persons that the assertion refers, and to them only; for our pleasures must be suitable to our prevailing dispositions and predominant tempers. Light itself affords no pleasure to the blind, nor can the most exquisite music yield any gratification to the deaf. An idle man has no enjoyment in labour, nor a glutton or a drunkard in temperance and sobriety. Those very things which the spiritual mind most relishes and desires are to the carnal mind distasteful and offensive. (Dr. Bruiting.). Parallel Verses KJV: So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.WEB: So then, brothers, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the free woman. |
