Galatians 4:26-28
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

26 But the Jerusalem above is freeborn, and she is our mother.(A) 27 For it is written:

“Rejoice, you barren one who bore no children;(B)
    break forth and shout, you who were not in labor;
for more numerous are the children of the deserted one
    than of her who has a husband.”[a]

28 Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of the promise.(C)

Footnotes

  1. 4:27 Is 54:1 in the Septuagint translation is applied to Sarah as the barren one (in Gn 15) who ultimately becomes the mother not only of Isaac but now of numerous children, i.e., of all those who believe, the children of the promise (Gal 4:28).
