Galatians 4:22-28

22For it is writtenG1125, that AbrahamG11 had twoG1417 sonsG5207, oneG1520 by the handmaid, and oneG1520 by the freewoman. 23Howbeit the son by the handmaid is bornG1080 after the fleshG4561; but the son by the freewoman is bornG1080 through promiseG1860. 24Which thingsG3778 contain an allegory: for these women areG1510 twoG1417 covenantsG1242; oneG1520 from mountG3735 SinaiG4614, bearingG1080 children unto bondage, which isG1510 HagarG28. 25NowG1161 this Hagar isG1510 mountG3735 SinaiG4614 in ArabiaG688 and answereth to the JerusalemG2419 that nowG1161 isG1510: for she isG1510 in bondage with her childrenG5043. 26But the JerusalemG2419 that isG1510 above isG1510 freeG1658, which isG1510 our motherG3384. 27For it is writtenG1125,

RejoiceG2165, thou barrenG4723 that bearest not;Break forth and cryG994, thou that travailest not:For moreG3123 are the childrenG5043 of the desolateG2048 than of her that hath the husbandG435.

28NowG1161 we, brethren, as IsaacG2464 wasG1510, areG1510 childrenG5043 of promiseG1860.
