Galatians 4:27 - Forerunner Commentary

Galatians 4:27

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.
