(Galatians 4:9): "weak and beggarly" rudiments; the elementary symbols of the law, powerless to justify, in contrast to the justifying power of faith (Galatians 3:24; Hebrews 7:18); beggarly, in contrast with the riches of the believer's inheritance in Christ (Ephesians 1:18). The child (Galatians 4:1-3) under the law is "weak," not having attained manhood. "beggarly," not having attained the inheritance.
