‏ Galatians 4:30

 Cast out ( εκβαλε ). Second aorist active imperative of  εκβαλλω. Quotation from Ge 21:10 (Sarah to Abraham) and confirmed in 21:12 by God's command to Abraham. Paul gives allegorical warning thus to the persecuting Jews and Judaizers.

 Shall not inherit ( ου μη κληρονομησε ). Strong negative ( ου μη and future indicative). "The law and the gospel cannot co-exist. The law must disappear before the gospel" (Lightfoot). See 3:18, 29 for the word "inherit."
