Galatians 4:27-29
New Testament for Everyone
27 For the Bible says,
Celebrate, childless one, who never gave birth!
Go wild and shout, girl that never had pains!
The barren woman has many more children
than the one who has a husband!
28 Now you, my family, are children of promise, in the line of Isaac. 29 But things now are like they were then: the one who was born according to the flesh persecuted the one born according to the spirit.

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.
