4:29 當時,那按著血氣生的逼迫了那按著聖靈生的,現在也是這樣。
4:30 然而經上是怎麼說的呢?是說:「把使女和她兒子趕出去!因為使女的兒子不可與自主婦人的兒子一同承受產業。」
4:31 弟兄們,這樣看來,我們不是使女的兒女,乃是自主婦人的兒女了。
But the child who was born in the natural
way made trouble for the child who was born because of the Spirit. The same
thing is happening today. The Scriptures say, “Get rid of the slave woman and
her son! He won’t be given anything. The son of the free woman will receive
everything.” My friends, we are children of the free woman and not of the
slave.

保羅在此提到:「律法主義者」會壓迫「因信稱義的真信徒」。但是上帝會行公義的事,就是將「律法主義者」趕出去。因為為奴的不能承受產業,只有兒子可以承受產業。
所以保羅在此激勵弟兄姊妹,不要害怕那些「律法主義者」,也不要理會他們是如何囂張與自誇。總有一天,上帝會顯明誰是他真正的兒女!只要我們是「因信稱義的真信徒」,就是按聖靈生的,領受聖靈為印記了!
為此我們要感謝!要歡呼!我們要讚美上帝的拯救之恩!
