Galatians 4:29

MSG

NIV

29 In the days of Hagar and Sarah, the child who came from faithless connivance (Ishmael) harassed the child who came - empowered by the Spirit - from the faithful promise (Isaac). Isn't it clear that the harassment you are now experiencing from the Jerusalem heretics follows that old pattern?
29 At that time the son born according to the flesh persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now.
