Moreover, of the children of the strangers, that do sojourn among you,....
It intimates that none shall have the benefit of the gospel jubilee but those only that are Israelites indeed, and the children of Abraham by faith: as for those that continue heathenish, they continue bondmen. See this turned upon the unbelieving Jews themselves, Gal. iv. 25 , where Jerusalem, when she had rejected Christ, is said to be in bondage with her children.
