Galatians:4:21-31
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Tell me ,
those desiring to be under Law ,
do you not hear the Law ?
*
For it is written :
Abraham had two sons ,
the one out of the slave-woman ,
and one out of the free woman .
*
But ,
indeed ,
he out of the slave-woman has been born according to flesh ,
and he out of the free woman through the promise ;
*
which things are being allegorized ;
for these are the two covenants ,
one indeed from Mount Sinai bringing forth to slavery ,
which is Hagar .
*
For Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia ,
and answers to Jerusalem which now is ,
and is in slavery with her children .
*
But the Jerusalem [
from ]
above is free ,
who is the mother of us all .
*
For it is written ,
Rejoice ,
barren one not bearing ;
break forth and shout ,
you not travailing ;
for more are the children of the desolate than she having the husband .
*
But brothers ,
we ,
like Isaac ,
are children of promise .
*
But then even as he born according to flesh persecuted him [
born ]
according to the Spirit ,
so it is ]
also now .
*
But what does the Scripture say ?
Cast out the slave-woman and her son ;
for in no way shall the son of the slave-woman inherit with the son of the free woman .
*
Then ,
brothers ,
we are not children of a slave-woman ,
but of the free woman .
