Galatians 4:22-31
22ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, thatG3754 AbrahamG11 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5207, the oneG1520 byG1537 a bondmaidG3588G3814, the otherG1520 byG1537 a freewomanG1658.
23ButG235 heG3588 who was ofG1537 the bondwomanG3588G3814 was bornG1080 afterG2596 the fleshG4561; butG1161 heG3588 ofG1537 the freewomanG1658 was byG1223 promiseG3588G1860.
24Which thingsG3748 areG1510 an allegoryG238: forG1063 theseG3778 areG1510 theG1242 twoG1417 covenantsG1242; the oneG1520 fromG575 the mountG3735 SinaiG4614, which genderethG1080 toG1519 bondageG1397, whichG3748 isG1510 HagarG28.
25ForG1063 thisG3588 HagarG28 isG1510 mountG3735 SinaiG4614 inG1722 ArabiaG3588G688, andG1161 answereth toG4960 JerusalemG2419 whichG3588 nowG3568 isG3588, andG1161 is in bondageG1398 withG3326 herG846 childrenG3588G5043.
26ButG1161 JerusalemG2419 which isG3588 aboveG507 isG1510 freeG1658, whichG3748 isG1510 the motherG3384 of usG1473 allG3956.
27ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, RejoiceG2165, thou barrenG4723 thatG3588 bearestG5088 notG3756; break forthG4486 andG2532 cryG994, thou thatG3588 travailestG5605 notG3756: forG3754 the desolate hathG2048 manyG4183 moreG3123 childrenG3588G5043 thanG2228 she whichG3588 hathG2192 an husbandG3588G435.
28NowG1161 weG1473, brethrenG80, asG2596 Isaac wasG2464, areG1510 the childrenG5043 of promiseG1860.
29ButG235 asG5618 thenG5119 he thatG3588 was bornG1080 afterG2596 the fleshG4561 persecutedG1377 himG3588 that was born afterG2596 the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 soG3779 it is nowG3568.
30NeverthelessG235 whatG5101 saithG3004 the scriptureG3588G1124? Cast outG1544 the bondwomanG3588G3814 andG2532 herG846 sonG3588G5207: forG1063 the sonG3588G5207 of the bondwomanG3588G3814 shallG2816 notG3756 be heirG2816 withG3326 the sonG3588G5207 of the freewomanG1658.
31So thenG686, brethrenG80, we areG1510 notG3756 childrenG5043 of the bondwomanG3814, butG235 of the freeG1658.
