Galatians 4:22-31

22For it is writtenG1125 that AbrahamG11 had twoG1417 sonsG5207; oneG1520 of the maid servant, and oneG1520 of the freeG1658 woman. 23But he [that was] of the maid servant was bornG1080 accordingG2596 to fleshG4561, and he [that was] of the freeG1658 woman through the promiseG1860. 24Which thingsG3778 have an allegorical sense; for these areG1510 twoG1417 covenantsG1242: oneG1520 from mountG3735 SinaiG4614, gendering to bondage, which isG1510 HagarG28. 25For Hagar isG1510 mountG3735 SinaiG4614 in ArabiaG688, and corresponds to JerusalemG2419 which [isG1510] nowG1161, for she isG1510 in bondage with her childrenG5043; 26but the JerusalemG2419 above isG1510 freeG1658, which isG1510 our motherG3384. 27For it is writtenG1125, RejoiceG2165, thou barrenG4723 that bearest not; break out and cryG994, thou that travailest not; because the childrenG5043 of the desolateG2048 are moreG3123 numerous than [those] of her that has a husbandG435. 28But ye, brethren, after the pattern of IsaacG2464, areG1510 childrenG5043 of promiseG1860. 29But as then he that was bornG1080 accordingG2596 to fleshG4561 persecutedG1377 him [that was bornG1080] accordingG2596 to SpiritG4151, so alsoG2532 [it is] nowG3568. 30But what saysG3004 the scriptureG1124? CastG1544 out the maid servant and her sonG5207; for the sonG5207 of the maid servant shall not inheritG2816 with the sonG5207 of the freeG1658 woman. 31So then, brethren, we areG1510 not maid servant's childrenG5043, but [childrenG5043] of the freeG1658 woman.
