Galatians 4:28
Print
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
And we, [believing] brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children [not merely of physical descent, like Ishmael, but are children born] of promise [born miraculously].
But we, brethren, are children [not by physical descent, as was Ishmael, but] like Isaac, born in virtue of promise.
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
Now you too, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise.
Brothers and sisters, you are children of the promise like Isaac.
You, brothers, like Yitz’chak, are children referred to in a promise of God.
My friends, you were born because of this promise, just as Isaac was.
But *ye*, brethren, after the pattern of Isaac, are children of promise.
And you, brothers, are children of the promise in accordance with Isaac.
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
My brothers and sisters, you are children who were born because of God’s promise, just as Isaac was.
You, my Christian friends, are like Sarah's son, Isaac. Like him, you became God's children as a result of God's promise.
Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of the promise.
Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.
Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.
My brothers and sisters, you are ·God’s children because of his promise [L children of the promise], as Isaac was then.
Therefore, brethren, we are after the manner of Isaac, children of the promise.
Now you, brothers and sisters, are children of the promise like Isaac.
Now, you, my friends, are God's children as a result of his promise, just as Isaac was.
Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.
My brothers, you are God’s children because of his promise, as Isaac was then.
So you, brothers, are children of the promise, like Isaac.
Now we, my brothers, are like Isaac, for we are children born “by promise”. But just as in those far-off days the natural son persecuted the “spiritual” son, so it is today. Yet what is the scriptural instruction? ‘Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.’
So that we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
And you brothers, in accordance with Isaac, are children of promise.
But you, brothers, are children of the promise, just as Isaac.
You and I, dear brothers, are the children that God promised, just as Isaac was.
Tell me now, you who have become so enamored with the law: Have you paid close attention to that law? Abraham, remember, had two sons: one by the slave woman and one by the free woman. The son of the slave woman was born by human plotting; the son of the free woman was born by God’s promise. This illustrates the very thing we are dealing with now. The two births represent two ways of being in relationship with God. One is from Mount Sinai in Arabia. It corresponds with what is now going on in Jerusalem—a slave life, producing slaves as offspring. This is the way of Hagar. In contrast to that, there is an invisible Jerusalem, a free Jerusalem, and she is our mother—this is the way of Sarah. Remember what Isaiah wrote: Rejoice, barren woman who bears no children, shout and cry out, woman who has no birth pangs, Because the children of the barren woman now surpass the children of the chosen woman. Isn’t it clear, friends, that you, like Isaac, are children of promise? In the days of Hagar and Sarah, the child who came from faithless plotting (Ishmael) harassed the child who came—empowered by the Spirit—from the faithful promise (Isaac). Isn’t it clear that the harassment you are now experiencing from the Jerusalem heretics follows that old pattern? There is a Scripture that tells us what to do: “Expel the slave mother with her son, for the slave son will not inherit with the free son.” Isn’t that conclusive? We are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
Now we, brothers, like Isaac, are the children of promise.
But you, my brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.
Now you, brothers and sisters, are children of the promise like Isaac.
Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of the promise.
And you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise.
And you brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise.
Now you, brethren, are, like Isaac, the children of the promise.
My brothers and sisters, you are God’s children because of his promise, as Isaac was then.
But you, brothers and sisters, are children of the promise like Isaac.
Brothers and sisters, you are children because of God’s promise just as Isaac was.
Now you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise.
Now you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise.
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
Christian brothers, we are like Isaac. We are the children God promised.
And you, dear brothers and sisters, are children of the promise, just like Isaac.
Brethren, we are like Isaac: children of promise.
Now you, my friends, are children of the promise, like Isaac.
Now you, my friends, are children of the promise, like Isaac.
Now you, my friends, are children of the promise, like Isaac.
Now you, my brothers and sisters, are children of the promise, like Isaac.
Now you, my family, are children of promise, in the line of Isaac.
But you, Achim b’Moshiach, are Bnei HaHavtacha (Sons of the Promise), like Yitzchak. [BERESHIS 18:10]
Therefore, brothers, we are like Isaac: children of the promise.
Now we, brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise.
Now we, brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise.
Now you, brothers and sisters—like Isaac, you are children of promise.
So you see now, brothers and sisters, you are children of the promise like Isaac.
Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
My brothers, we are like Isaac. We are born because God made a promise.
For, brethren, we be sons of promise after Isaac; [Forsooth, brethren, we be after Isaac the sons of promise;]
And we, brethren, as Isaac, are children of promise,
