22ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, thatG3754 AbrahamG11 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5207, the oneG1520 byG1537 a bondwomanG3814, the otherG1520 byG1537 a freewomanG1658. 23ButG235 heG3303 who was ofG1537 the bondwomanG3814 was bornG1080 according toG2596 the fleshG4561; butG1161 he ofG1537 the freewomanG1658 was byG1223 promiseG1860. 24Which thingsG3748 areG2076 an allegoryG238: forG1063 theseG3778 areG1526 the twoG1417 covenantsG1242; the oneG3391G3303 fromG575 the mountG3735 SinaiG4614, which beareth childrenG1080 forG1519 bondageG1397, whichG3748 isG2076 HagarG28.12 25ForG1063 this HagarG28 isG2076 mountG3735 SinaiG4614 inG1722 ArabiaG688, andG1161 answerethG4960 to JerusalemG2419 whichG3588 now isG3568, andG1161 is in bondageG1398 withG3326 herG846 childrenG5043.3 26ButG1161 JerusalemG2419 which is aboveG507 isG2076 freeG1658, whichG3748 isG2076 the motherG3384 of usG2257 allG3956. 27ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, RejoiceG2165, thou barrenG4723 that bearestG5088 notG3756; break forthG4486 andG2532 cryG994, thou that travailestG5605 notG3756: forG3754 the desolateG2048 hath many moreG4183 childrenG5043 thanG3123G2228 she who hathG2192 an husbandG435. 28NowG1161 weG2249, brethrenG80, asG2596 IsaacG2464 wasG2596, areG2070 the childrenG5043 of promiseG1860. 29ButG235 asG5618 thenG5119 he that was bornG1080 according toG2596 the fleshG4561 persecutedG1377 him that was born according toG2596 the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 soG3779 it is nowG3568. 30NeverthelessG235 whatG5101 saithG3004 the scriptureG1124? Cast outG1544 the bondwomanG3814 andG2532 herG846 sonG5207: forG1063 the sonG5207 of the bondwomanG3814 shallG2816 notG3364 be heirG2816 withG3326 the sonG5207 of the freewomanG1658.
