Gal.4.29

In the days of Hagar and Sarah, the child who came from faithless connivance (Ishmael) harassed the child who came--empowered by the Spirit--from the faithful promise (Isaac). Isn't it clear that the harassment you are now experiencing from the Jerusalem heretics follows that old pattern?

Gal.4.29

At that time the son born in the ordinary way persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now.

Gal.4.29

But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.

Gal.4.29

And we who are born of the Holy Spirit are persecuted by those who want us to keep the law, just as Isaac, the child of promise, was persecuted by Ishmael, the son of the slave-wife.
