⁴ But ^(A)when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, ^(B)born ^(C)of woman, born ^(D)under the law,

⁷ but ^(A)emptied himself, by taking the form of a ^(B)servant,^{[a] (C)}being born in the likeness of men.

⁴ His tail swept down ^(A)a third of the stars of heaven and ^(B)cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child ^(C)he might devour it. ⁵ She gave birth to a male child, ^(D)one who is to rule^[a] all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was ^(E)caught up to God and to his throne,

¹³ And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued ^(A)the woman who had given birth to the male child.
