Galatians 4:21-26
21Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not 1listen to the law?
22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, 2one by the bondwoman and 3one by the free woman.
23But 4the son by the bondwoman 5was born according to the flesh, and 6the son by the free woman through the promise.
2478This is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants: one proceeding from 9Mount Sinai bearing children 10who are to be 11slaves; 12she is Hagar.
25Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.
