28 But we, brethren, are children [[a]not by physical descent, as was Ishmael, but] like Isaac, born [b]in virtue of promise.

29 Yet [just] as at that time the child [of ordinary birth] born according to the flesh despised and persecuted him [who was born remarkably] according to [the promise and the working of] the [Holy] Spirit, so it is now also.(A)
