Galatians 4:27-29
New International Version
27 For it is written:
“Be glad, barren woman,
you who never bore a child;
shout for joy and cry aloud,
you who were never in labor;
because more are the children of the desolate woman
than of her who has a husband.”[a](A)
28 Now you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise.(B) 29 At that time the son born according to the flesh(C) persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit.(D) It is the same now.

Galatians 4:27-29
King James Version
27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
