Galatia 4:29-31

4:29 But just as at that time the one born by natural descent ¹  persecuted the one born according to the Spirit, ²  so it is now. 4:30 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” ³  of the free woman. 4:31 Therefore, brothers and sisters, ⁴  we are not children of the slave woman but of the free woman.

[4:29]  ¹ tn Grk “according to the flesh”; see the note on the phrase “by natural descent” in 4:23.
