Galatians 4:29 in Context — Galatians 4

27 car il est écrit: Réjouis-toi, stérile, toi qui n’enfantes point! Éclate et pousse des cris, toi qui n’as pas éprouvé les douleurs de l’enfantement! Car les enfants de la délaissée seront plus nombreux Que les enfants de celle qui était mariée.

28 Pour vous, frères, comme Isaac, vous êtes enfants de la promesse;

29 et de même qu’alors celui qui était né selon la chair persécutait celui qui était né selon l’Esprit, ainsi en est-il encore maintenant.

30 Mais que dit l’Écriture? Chasse l’esclave et son fils, car le fils de l’esclave n’héritera pas avec le fils de la femme libre.

31 C’est pourquoi, frères, nous ne sommes pas enfants de l’esclave, mais de la femme libre.
