**world**
kosmos = mankind. *(See Scofield "**")*

**little children**
The allegory [Galatians 4:22-31](../../../kjv/galatians/4/22-31) is addressed to justified but immature believers (cf) [1 Corinthians 3:1](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/3/1); [1 Corinthians 3:2](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/3/2) who, under the influence of legalistic teachers, "desire to be under the law," and has, therefore, no application to a sinner seeking justification. It raises and answers, for the fifth time in this Epistle, the question, Is the believer under the law? ; [Galatians 2:19-21](../../../kjv/galatians/2/19-21); [Galatians 3:1-33](../../../kjv/galatians/3/1-33); [Galatians 3:26](../../../kjv/galatians/3/26); [Galatians 4:4-6](../../../kjv/galatians/4/4-6) [Galatians 4:9-31](../../../kjv/galatians/4/9-31).
