其由婢生者、循血氣而生、其由自主之婦生者、因應許而生、

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、依形軀而生、自由出者、乃由應許焉、

婢出者、循人道、婦出者、因應許、

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、雖過生育之期、尚能懷妊生子、因彼以應許者為可信、

亦非因係亞伯拉罕之裔、皆得為子、經載主云、惟由以撒而生者、方可稱為爾裔、是則非肉體所生者為天主之子、惟所應許之子、方視之為裔、

主按前言、眷顧撒拉、主循其所許、為撒拉施行、亞伯拉罕老邁時、撒拉懷妊、屆天主所言之期、從亞伯拉罕生一子、

其中一人曰、明年屆期、我必復至、撒拉將生子、其人後有幕、撒拉在幕門聞之、亞伯拉罕與撒拉俱年邁、撒拉癸水已絕、撒拉竊哂云、我已衰矣、我主亦老、豈復有生子之樂乎、主謂亞伯拉罕曰、撒拉何哂云我已老、豈能生子、耶和華豈有不能行之事哉、屆期、我必復至、撒拉將生子、

兄弟乎、我儕如以撒、乃因應許而為子、昔循血氣而生者、窘逐循神而生者、今亦如是、

無望中猶有望、深信將為萬民之父、如經云、爾之後裔、將如此多、見創世記十五章五節其信甚篤、年近百歲、不顧己身已衰、亦不顧撒拉之胎已絕孕、不懷不信之心、疑天主所許者、其信益堅、歸榮天主、深知天主所許者、必能成也、

天主又諭亞伯拉罕曰、爾妻不復稱撒萊、乃稱為撒拉、我必賜之以福、使之從爾生子、我必賜之以福、使為列族之母、列邦之王必由彼出、亞伯拉罕俯伏而哂、自思曰、百歲之人、豈能生子、撒拉已九十歲、豈能生育乎、亞伯拉罕對天主曰、惟願以實瑪利、得生於主前、天主曰、爾妻撒拉果必生子、可命名以撒、我將與彼及其後裔立我約、以為永約、

其何言乎、乃言、道近爾、在爾口、在爾心、即信之道、我儕所傳者也、
