Galatians 4:28–31

4:28 But you,39 brothers and sisters,40 are children of the promise like Isaac. 4:29 But just as at that time the one born by natural descent41 persecuted the one born according to the Spirit,42 so it is now. 4:30 But what does the scripture say? “Throw out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman will not share the inheritance with the son”43 of the free woman. 4:31 Therefore, brothers and sisters,44 we are not children of the slave woman but of the free woman.

39	tc Most mss (א A C D2 Ψ 062 𝔐 lat sy bo) read “we” here, while “you” is found in 𝔓46 B D* F G 0261vid 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.
