Galatians 4:29-31
New English Translation

29 But just as at that time the one born by natural descent[a] persecuted the one born according to the Spirit,[b] so it is now. 30 But what does the scripture say? “Throw out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman will not share the inheritance with the son”[c] of the free woman. 31 Therefore, brothers and sisters,[d] we are not children of the slave woman but of the free woman.
