Galatians 4:27

4:27 For it is written:

“Rejoice, O barren woman who does not bear children; ¹ 

break forth and shout, you who have no birth pains,

because the children of the desolate woman are more numerous

than those of the woman who has a husband.” ² 

[4:27]  ¹ tn The direct object “children” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied for clarity. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[4:27]  ² tn Grk “because more are the children of the barren one than of the one having a husband.”
