Galatians 4:21-28

21TellG3004 meG3004, ye thatG3004 desireG2309 toG3004 beG1510 underG5259 theG3588 lawG3551, doG1510 ye notG3756 hearG191 theG3588 lawG3551?

22ForG1063 itG2532 is writtenG1125, thatG3754 AbrahamG11 had twoG1417 sonsG5207, oneG1520 byG1537 theG3588 handmaid, andG2532 oneG1520 byG1537 theG3588 freewoman.

23Howbeit theG3588 son byG1223 theG3588 handmaid is bornG1080 afterG2596 theG3588 fleshG4561; butG1161 theG3588 son byG1223 theG3588 freewoman is bornG1080 throughG1223 promiseG1860.

24WhichG3748 thingsG3778 contain anG1510 allegory: forG1063 theseG3778 womenG1417 areG1510 twoG1417 covenantsG1242; oneG1520 fromG575 mountG3735 SinaiG4614, bearingG1080 childrenG1080 unto bondage, whichG3748 isG1510 HagarG28.

25NowG1161 thisG3588 Hagar isG1510 mountG3735 SinaiG4614 inG1722 ArabiaG688, andG1161 answereth toG1722 theG3588 JerusalemG2419 thatG846 nowG1161 isG1510: forG1063 sheG846 isG1510 inG1722 bondageG1398 withG3326 herG846 childrenG5043.

26ButG1161 theG3588 JerusalemG2419 thatG3748 isG1510 aboveG507 isG1510 freeG1658, whichG3748 isG1510 ourG1161 motherG3384.

27ForG1063 itG2532 is writtenG1125, RejoiceG2165, thou barrenG4723 thatG3754 bearest notG3756; BreakG4486 forthG4486 andG2532 cryG994, thou thatG3754 travailest notG3756: ForG1063 moreG3123 are theG3588 childrenG5043 ofG435 theG3588 desolateG2048 thanG2228 ofG435 herG3754 whichG3748 hath theG3588 husbandG435.

28NowG1161 weG1161, brethrenG80, asG2596 IsaacG2464 wasG1510, areG1510 childrenG5043 ofG5043 promiseG1860.
