Galatians 4:26-31
26But 1the Jerusalem above is free; 2she is our mother. 27For it is written, “3Rejoice, barren woman who does not bear; Break forth and shout, you who are not in labor; For more numerous are the children of the desolate Than of the one who has a husband.” 28And you brethren, 4like Isaac, are 5children of promise. 29But as at that time 6he who was born according to the flesh 7persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, 8so it is now also. 30But what does the Scripture say? “9Cast out the bondwoman and her son, For 10the son of the bondwoman shall not be an heir with the son of the free woman.” 31So then, brethren, we are not children of a bondwoman, 11but of the free woman.
