← Galatians 4:27	Galatians 4:28 (KJV)	Galatians 4:29 →
For it is written, Rejoice, [thou] barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.	Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.	But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him [that was born] after the Spirit, even so [it is] now.
