My little children, for whom I am again in [the pains of] labor until Christ is [completely and permanently] formed within you—

My Servant, shall justify the many [making them righteous—upright before God, in right standing with Him],
For He shall bear [the responsibility for] their sins.

Than the sons of the married woman,” says the Lord.

Than she who has a husband.”
