Galatians 4:28-30
New English Translation
28 But you,[a] brothers and sisters,[b] are children of the promise like Isaac. 29 But just as at that time the one born by natural descent[c] persecuted the one born according to the Spirit,[d] so it is now. 30 But what does the scripture say? “Throw out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman will not share the inheritance with the son”[e] of the free woman.

It is more likely that a copyist, noticing the first person pronouns in vv. 26 and 31, changed a second person pronoun here to first person for consistency.
