This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Cast out (ekbale). Second aorist active imperative of ekballō. Quotation from Gen 21:10 (Sarah to Abraham) and confirmed in Gen 21:12 by God’s command to Abraham. Paul gives allegorical warning thus to the persecuting Jews and Judaizers.
Shall not inherit (ou mē klēronomēsei). Strong negative (ou mē and future indicative). “The law and the gospel cannot Corinthians-exist. The law must disappear before the gospel” (Lightfoot). See note on Gen 3:18; 29 for the word “inherit.”
