This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gal 4:30. Ἡ γραφὴ, the Scripture) Sarah [said], concerning Isaac [literally]; the Scripture [saith so] by allegory.-ἔκβαλε, cast out) from the house and the inheritance.-τὴν παιδίσκην καὶ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς, the bond-maid and her son) The servile condition of itself deserves expulsion; but persecution [on the part of the bondservant] against spiritual sons furnishes a handle for putting the punishment in execution.-οὐ γὰρ μὴ κληρονομήσῃ, for he shall not be heir) Sarah looks to the Divine appointment regarding Isaac as the one and only heir, although Ishmael also had been circumcised.
