Galatians 4:27
Compare all
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.

Galatians 4:27

Galatians 4:27 For it is written. See Isaiah 54:1. In that connection the prophet speaks of the Babylonian bondage, of Abraham and Sarah, and then of the deliverance, looking onward to the glorious deliverance in Christ. Chapter 53 is all concerning Christ, and chapter 54 speaks of the great deliverance. [Thou] barren that bearest not. Sarah, the type of the church, long childless. The desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband. Sarah, or rather the church, that has more children by far than the children of the old covenant.
