Galatians 4:22-31
22ForG1063 it is writtenG1125 thatG3754 AbrahamG11 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5207, oneG1520 byG1537 theG3588 slave womanG3814 andG2532 the other byG1537 theG3588 freeG1658 woman.1 23HisG3588 son byG1537 theG3588 slave womanG3814 was bornG1080 according toG2596 the fleshG4561, but his son byG1537 theG3588 freeG1658 woman was born throughG1223 theG3588 promiseG1860.
24TheseG3748 things serve as illustrationsG1510G238, forG1063 the women representG1510 twoG1417 covenantsG1242. OneG1520 covenant is fromG575 MountG3735 SinaiG4614 and bears childrenG1080 intoG1519 slaveryG1397: ThisG3748 isG1510 HagarG28. 25NowG1161 HagarG28 stands forG1510 MountG3735 SinaiG4614 inG1722 ArabiaG688 andG1161 correspondsG4960 to theG3588 present-dayG3568 JerusalemG2419, becauseG1063 she is in slaveryG1398 withG3326 herG846 childrenG5043. 26ButG1161 theG3588 JerusalemG2419 aboveG507 isG1510 freeG1658, and she isG1510 ourG1473 motherG3384. 27ForG1063 it is writtenG1125:
28NowG1161 youG4771,3 brothersG80, likeG2596 IsaacG2464, areG1510 childrenG5043 of promiseG1860. 29At that timeG5119, howeverG235, theG3588 son bornG1080 byG2596 the fleshG4561 persecutedG1377 theG3588 son born byG2596 the SpiritG4151. It is the sameG5618G3779G2532 nowG3568.
30ButG235 whatG5101 does theG3588 ScriptureG1124 sayG3004? “ExpelG1544 theG3588 slave womanG3814 andG2532 herG846 sonG5207, forG1063 theG3588 slave woman’sG3588G3814 sonG5207 will never share in the inheritanceG3756G3361G2816 withG3326 theG3588 freeG3588G1658 woman’s sonG5207.”4 31ThereforeG1352, brothersG80, we areG1510 notG3756 childrenG5043 of the slave womanG3814, butG235 of theG3588 freeG1658 woman.
