婢出者、依形軀而生、自由出者、乃由應許焉、

然而，那使女所生的是按着血气生的；那自主之妇人所生的，是凭着应许生的。

那使女所生的是按着肉体生的；那自由的妇人所生的是凭着应许生的。

那使女所生的是按着肉体生的；那自由的妇人所生的是凭着应许生的。

婢女的儿子是按着人的意愿生的，主母的儿子是按着上帝的应许生的。

但那出于婢女的，是按着肉体生的；那出于自由的妇人的，是凭着应许生的。

那出于女仆的是由肉体生的，那出于自由女人的是藉着应许生的。

然而，那使女所生的是按着血氣生的；那自主之婦人所生的是憑着應許生的。

那使女所生的是按着肉體生的；那自由的婦人所生的是憑着應許生的。

那使女所生的是按着肉體生的；那自由的婦人所生的是憑着應許生的。

婢女的兒子是按著人的意願生的，主母的兒子是按著上帝的應許生的。

但那出於婢女的，是按著肉體生的；那出於自由的婦人的，是憑著應許生的。

那出於使女的、是只按普通程序生的、而那出於自主婦人的、卻是憑着應許生的。

那出於女僕的是由肉體生的，那出於自由女人的是藉著應許生的。

婢出者、循人道、婦出者、因應許、

其由婢生者、循血氣而生、其由自主之婦生者、因應許而生、

然婢女之子、乃因肉情而生；而主婦之子、則憑恩諾而生。

撒拉有信、雖逾生育之年、尚能懷妊、以許之者誠信也、

亦非因其為亞伯拉罕之裔、遂盡為子、經云、由於以撒者、乃謂爾裔也、是則形軀之子非上帝子、惟應許之子稱裔也、

耶和華踐其前言、眷顧撒拉、予以所許、亞伯拉罕暮年、撒拉懷妊、屆上帝所言之期、誕生男子、

其中一人曰、明年屆期、我必復至、爾妻撒拉將生子、撒拉在其後、於幕門聞此、亞伯拉罕與撒拉、皆壽高年邁、撒拉癸水已絕、竊哂曰、我老矣、吾主亦然、庸有喜乎、耶和華諭亞伯拉罕曰、撒拉何竊哂云、我已年老、詎生育乎、耶和華豈有難行之事哉、屆期、我將復至、撒拉必生子、

兄弟乎、我儕如以撒因應許而為子、昔依形軀而生者、窘逐依聖神而生者、今亦如是、

亞伯拉罕雖已絕望、猶望而信、致為諸邦之父、如經云、爾裔將若星然、彼雖年近百齡、自念其身如死、撒拉絕孕、而其信不衰、且於上帝所許、不以不信而貳其心、惟信彌篤、歸榮上帝、深信上帝所許者、必能成之、

上帝諭亞伯拉罕曰、爾妻不復稱撒萊、宜稱撒拉、我必祝之、賜之生子、復錫以嘏、使為列國之母、列王由之而出、亞伯拉罕俯伏而哂、竊謂百歲之人、猶能生子乎、撒拉年九十、猶能生育乎、乃對上帝曰、惟願以實瑪利生存於爾前、上帝曰、否、爾妻撒拉必生子、可名以撒、我將與彼立約、為其後裔之永約、

然則何謂耶、曰、道在邇、在汝口、在汝心、即由信之道、我儕所宣也、
