Galatians 4:27-29
International Children’s Bible
27 It is written in the Scriptures:
“Be happy, Jerusalem.
You are like a woman who never gave birth to children.
Start singing and shout for joy.
You never felt the pain of giving birth to children.
But you will have more children
than the woman who has a husband.” Isaiah 54:1
28 My brothers, you are God’s children because of his promise, as Isaac was then. 29 The son who was born in the normal way treated the other son badly. It is the same today.

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.
