Galatians 4:26
Compare all
24 which things are symbolic. For these are1 the two covenants: the one from Mount aSinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar—  
25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children—
26 but the aJerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.  
27 For it is written:
a“Rejoice, O barren,
You who do not bear!
Break forth and shout,
You who are not in labor!
For the desolate has many more children
Than she who has a husband.”  
28 Now awe, brethren, as Isaac was, are bchildren of promise.  
29 But, as ahe who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, beven so it is now.  
30 Nevertheless what does athe Scripture say? b“Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for cthe son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.”  
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.
