Galatians 4:21
Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law?
Galatians 4:22
For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman.
Galatians 4:23
But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise,
Galatians 4:24
which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar—
Galatians 4:25
for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children—
Galatians 4:26
but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Galatians 4:27
For it is written:
“Rejoice, O barren,
You who do not bear!
Break forth and shout,
You who are not in labor!
For the desolate has many more children
Than she who has a husband.”
Galatians 4:28
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
Galatians 4:29
But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.
Galatians 4:30
Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.”
Galatians 4:31
So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.
