Galatians 4:22-25

22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, 1one by the slave woman and 2one by the free woman.

23But 3the son by the slave woman 4was born according to the flesh, and 5the son by the free woman through the promise.

2467This is speaking allegorically, for these women are two covenants: one coming from 8Mount Sinai giving birth to children 9who are to be 10slaves; 11she is Hagar.

25Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is enslaved with her children.
