Galatians 4:24-31
2412ThisG3748 is speakingG238 allegoricallyG238, for theseG3778 women are twoG1417 covenantsG1242: oneG1520 coming from 3MountG3735 SinaiG4614 givingG1080 birthG1080 toG1080 childrenG1080 4who are to be 5slavesG1397; 6she is HagarG28. 25NowG1161 thisG3588 HagarG28 is MountG3735 SinaiG4614 in ArabiaG688 and correspondsG4960 to the presentG3568 JerusalemG2419, for she is enslavedG1398 with her childrenG5043. 26But 7the JerusalemG2419 aboveG507 is freeG1658; 8she is our motherG3384. 27For it is writtenG1125: “9RejoiceG2165, infertileG4723 one, you who do not giveG5088 birthG5088; BreakG4486 forthG4486 and shoutG994, you who areG5605 not inG5605 laborG5605; For the childrenG5043 of the desolateG2048 one are moreG4183 numerousG4183 ThanG2228 those of the one who hasG2192 a husbandG435.” 28And you, brothersG80 and sisters, 10likeG2596 IsaacG2464, are 11childrenG5043 of promiseG1860. 29But as at that timeG5119 12the son who was bornG1080 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561 13persecutedG1377 the one who was born accordingG2596 to the SpiritG4151, 14soG3779 it is evenG2532 nowG3568. 30But whatG5101 does the ScriptureG1124 sayG3004? “15DriveG1544 out the slaveG3814 womanG3814 and her sonG5207, For 16the sonG5207 of the slaveG3814 womanG3814 shall not beG2816 anG2816 heirG2816 with the sonG5207 of the freeG1658 womanG1658.” 31SoG1352 thenG1352, brothersG80 and sisters, we are not childrenG5043 of a slaveG3814 womanG3814, but of the freeG1658 womanG1658.
