“Ye did runne well: who did let you [hinder you], that ye did not obey the trueth? It is not the perswasion [persuasion] of him [the Savior] that calleth you.

“And I would I were with you nowe, that I might change my voyce: for I am in doubt of you. Example of Hagar and SarahTell me, ye that will be vnder the Law, doe ye not heare the Lawe” (Galatians 4:20, 21 1587 Geneva Version)?  Father, please guide us and give us Your strength […]

“Am I [Paul] therefore become your enemie, because I tell you the trueth” (Galatians 4:16 1587 Geneva Version)?
