Galatians 4:27-29

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁷ For it is written in the Scriptures, Rejoice, O barren woman, who has not given birth to children; break forth into a joyful shout, you who are not feeling birth pangs, for the desolate woman has many more children than she who has a husband.^(A)

²⁸ But we, brethren, are children [^[a]not by physical descent, as was Ishmael, but] like Isaac, born ^[b]in virtue of promise.

²⁹ Yet [just] as at that time the child [of ordinary birth] born according to the flesh despised and persecuted him [who was born remarkably] according to [the promise and the working of] the [Holy] Spirit, so it is now also.^(B)
