Galatians 4:24-31
2412ThisG3748 is allegoricallyG238 speakingG238, for theseG3778 women are twoG1417 covenantsG1242: oneG1520 proceeding from 3MountG3735 SinaiG4614 bearingG1080 childrenG1080 4who are to be 5slavesG1397; 6she is HagarG28. 25NowG3568 thisG3588 HagarG28 is MountG3735 SinaiG4614 in ArabiaG688 and correspondsG4960 to the presentG3568 JerusalemG2419, for she is in slaveryG1398 with her childrenG5043. 26But 7the JerusalemG2419 aboveG507 is freeG1658; 8she is our motherG3384. 27For it is writtenG1125, “9RejoiceG2165, barrenG4723 womanG4723 who does not bearG5088; BreakG4486 forthG4486 and shoutG994, you who are not in laborG5605; For moreG4183 numerousG4183 are the childrenG5043 of the desolateG2048 ThanG2228 of the one who hasG2192 a husbandG435.” 28And you brethrenG80, 10likeG2596 IsaacG2464, are 11childrenG5043 of promiseG1860. 29But as at that timeG5119 12he who was bornG1080 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561 13persecutedG1377 him who was born accordingG2596 to the SpiritG4151, 14soG3779 it is nowG3568 alsoG2532. 30But whatG5101 does the ScriptureG1124 sayG3004? “15CastG1544 out the bondwomanG3814 and her sonG5207, For 16the sonG5207 of the bondwomanG3814 shall not be an heirG2816 with the sonG5207 of the freeG1658 womanG1658.” 31SoG1352 thenG1352, brethrenG80, we are not childrenG5043 of a bondwomanG3814, 17but of the freeG1658 womanG1658.
