The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 55: Galatians: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Galatians
4:20. And I would willingly be present with you now and change my voice:
because I am ashamed for you.
4:21. Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, have you not read
the law?
4:22. For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a
bondwoman and the other by a free woman.
4:23. But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh:
but he of the free woman was by promise.
4:24. Which things are said by an allegory. For these are the two
testaments. The one from Mount Sina, engendering unto bondage, which is
Agar.
4:25. For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that
Jerusalem which now is: and is in bondage with her children.
4:26. But that Jerusalem which is above is free: which is our mother.
4:27. For it is written: Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not: break
forth and cry thou that travailest not: for many are the children of the
desolate, more than of her that hath a husband.
4:28. Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
4:29. But as then he that was born according to the flesh persecuted him
that was after the spirit: so also it is now.
4:30. But what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son:
for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free
woman.
4:31. So then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman but of
the free: by the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free.
Galatians Chapter 5
He exhorts them to stand to their Christian liberty. Of the fruits of
the flesh and of the spirit.
5:1. Stand fast and be not held again under the yoke of bondage.
5:2. Behold, I Paul tell you, that if you be circumcised, Christ shall
profit you nothing.
5:3. And I testify again to every man circumcising himself that he is a
debtor to do the whole law.
5:4. You are made void of Christ, you who are justified in the law: you
are fallen from grace.
5:5. For we in spirit, by faith, wait for the hope of justice.
5:6. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing nor
uncircumcision: but faith that worketh by Charity.
5:7. You did run well. What hath hindered you, that you should not obey
the truth?
5:8. This persuasion is not from him that calleth you.
5:9. A little leaven corrupteth the whole lump.
5:10. I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will not be of
another mind: but he that troubleth you shall bear the judgment,
whosoever he be.
5:11. And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer
persecution? Then is the scandal of the cross made void.
5:12. I would they were even cut off, who trouble you.
5:13. For you, brethren, have been called unto liberty. Only make not
liberty an occasion to the flesh: but by charity of the spirit serve one
another.
5:14. For all the law is fulfilled in one word: Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself.
5:15. But if you bite and devour one another: take heed you be not
consumed one of another.
