Galatians 4:30

Galatians 4:30

28 Now ^awe, brethren, as Isaac was, are ^bchildren of promise.

29 But, as ^ahe who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, ^beven so it is now.

30 Nevertheless what does ^athe Scripture say? ^b“Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for ^cthe son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.”

31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.

<< Galatians 4:29

Galatians 4:31 >>

Galatians 4:30 What saith the scripture? See Genesis 21:10. Cast out the bondwoman and her son. The allegory will hold good still further. Abraham, when it was impossible that the two families should get along in peace, cast out the bondwoman and her son. For the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. So, too, the Jews, the children of the old covenant, had lost the divine favor, and the children of the promise, whether Jews or Gentiles, made heirs.
