Galatians 4:28-31
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
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)
30 But what does the Scripture say? Cast out and send away the slave woman and her son, for never shall the son of the slave woman be heir and share the inheritance with the son of the free woman.(B)
31 So, brethren, we [who are born again] are not children of a slave woman [[c]the natural], but of the free [[d]the supernatural].
