Galatians, Chapter 4, verses 21-31

²¹ Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the law? ²² For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondwoman and one by the free woman. ²³ But the son by the bondwoman^r Lit has been bornwas born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise. ²⁴ ^s Lit WhichThis is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants: one proceeding from Mount Sinai bearing children^t Lit into slaverywho are to be slaves;^u Lit whichshe is Hagar. ²⁵ Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. ²⁶ But the Jerusalem above is free;^v Lit whichshe is our mother. ²⁷ For it is written,“REJOICE, BARREN WOMAN WHO DOES NOT BEAR; BREAK FORTH AND SHOUT, YOU WHO ARE NOT IN LABOR; FOR MORE NUMEROUS ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE DESOLATE THAN OF THE ONE WHO HAS A HUSBAND.”	21 Luk 16:29 22 Gen 16:15 Gen 21:2 23 Rom 9:7 Gal 4:29 Gen 17:16 Gen 18:10 Gen 21:1 Gal 4:28 Heb 11:11 24 Co1 10:11 Deu 33:2 Gal 4:3 26 Heb 12:22 Rev 3:12 Rev 21:2 Rev 21:10 27 Isa 54:1
²⁸ And you brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise. ²⁹ But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also. ³⁰ But what does the Scripture say?“CAST OUT THE BONDWOMAN AND HER SON, FOR THE SON OF THE BONDWOMAN SHALL NOT BE AN HEIR WITH THE SON OF THE FREE WOMAN.”	28 Gal 4:23 Rom 9:7 Gal 3:29 29 Gal 4:23 Gen 21:9 Gal 5:11 30 Gen 21:10 Gen 21:12 Joh 8:35
³¹ So then, brethren, we are not children of a bondwoman,^w V 5:1, note 1but of the free woman.
