Galatians 4:28

4:28 But you, ¹  brothers and sisters, ²  are children of the promise like Isaac.

Galatians 4:31

4:31 Therefore, brothers and sisters, ³  we are not children of the slave woman but of the free woman.

Galatians 4:27

4:27 For it is written:

“Rejoice, O barren woman who does not bear children; ⁴ 

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.” ⁵ 

[4:28]  ¹ 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.

[4:28]  ² tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:11.

[4:31]  ³ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:11.

[4:27]  ⁵ 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]  ⁶ tn Grk “because more are the children of the barren one than of the one having a husband.”
