This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gal 4:29. Ἐδίωκε, persecuted) wantonly, Gen 21:9. Persecution is the work of carnal, not of spiritual men. [Take care lest you esteem it of little importance, whatever is done against the children of the free woman.-V. g.]-τὸν κατὰ πνεῦμα) viz. γεννηθέντα, him who was born after the Spirit. Paul, having the Apodosis in his mind, so frames his discourse respecting Ishmael and Isaac as to apply it to carnal men and believers. Where the Spirit is, there is liberty.
