Galatians 4:27-29
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
27 For it is written,
“Rejoice, you childless one, you who bear no children,
burst into song and shout, you who endure no birth pangs;
for the children of the desolate woman are more numerous
than the children of the one who is married.”
28 Now you,[a] my friends,[b] are children of the promise, like Isaac. 29 But just as at that time the child who was born according to the flesh persecuted the child who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also.

New King James Version
27 For it is written:
(A)“Rejoice, O barren,
You who do not bear!
Break forth and shout,
You who are not in labor!
For the desolate has many more children
Than she who has a husband.”
28 Now (B)we, brethren, as Isaac was, are (C)children of promise. 29 But, as (D)he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, (E)even so it is now.

Galaterbrevet 4:27-29
Svenska Folkbibeln
27 Det står skrivet:
Gläd dig, du ofruktsamma, du som inte föder barn,
jubla högt, du som inte känner födslovånda,
ty den ensamma har många barn, fler än den som har en man.[a]
28 Ni, bröder, är löftets barn liksom Isak. 29 Och som det var då, att han som var född efter naturens ordning förföljde den som var född i kraft av Anden, så är det också nu.
