4:29 Ishmael persecuted Isaac, the child of the promise, at Isaac’s weaning ceremony (see Gen 21:9). Similarly, in Galatia, those who want you to keep the law were persecuting those who trusted in God’s promise, the message of God’s grace through faith in Christ alone (cp. Acts 13:50-51; 14:1-7).
OET (OET-LV) But as then the one having_been_born according_to flesh, was_persecuting the one according_to spirit, thus also it_is now.
OET (OET-RV) but back then the one born from human actions persecuted the one born from the spirit, and so too it continues now.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
