Galatians 4:23

4:23 But one, the son by the slave woman, was born by natural descent, ¹  while the other, the son by the free woman, was born through the promise.

Galatians 4:28

4:28 But you, ²  brothers and sisters, ³  are children of the promise like Isaac.

¹ tn Grk “born according to the flesh”; BDAG 916 s.v. σάρξ 4 has “Of natural descent τὰ τέκνα τῆς σαρκός children by natural descent Ro 9:8 (opp. τὰ τέκνα τῆς ἐπαγγελίας). ὁ μὲν ἐκ τῆς παιδίσκης κατὰ σάρκα γεγέννηται Gal 4:23; cp. vs. 29.”

² tc Most mss (א A C D² Ψ 062 Ï lat sy bo) read “we” here, while “you” is found in Ì⁴⁶ B D* F G 0261^vid 0278 33 1739 al sa. It is more likely that a copyist, noticing the first person pronouns in vv. 26 and 31, changed a second person pronoun here to first person for consistency.

³ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:11.
