mnt - Galatians:4:21-31

mnt@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me, you who wish to be subject to the Law, why do you not listen to the Law?

mnt@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and one by the free woman;

mnt@Galatians:4:23 @ but while the son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, the son by the free woman was born in fulfilment of a promise.

mnt@Galatians:4:24 @ Now all this is an allegory, for these women are the two covenants; one from Mount Sinai, which is Hagar bearing children into bondage

mnt@Galatians:4:25 @ (for the word Hagar stands for Mt. Sinai in Arabia and represents the present Jerusalem who with her children is in bondage.)

mnt@Galatians:4:26 @ But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.

mnt@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written, Rejoice, O thou barren one who dost never bear, Break forth in joy, thou that dost not travail; For the children of the desolate woman are many. Yea, more than hers who has a husband.

mnt@Galatians:4:28 @ But you, brothers, are like Isaac, children of the promise;

mnt@Galatians:4:29 @ but just as in old times the son born by the flesh used to persecute the son born by the power of the Spirit, so also it is now.

mnt@Galatians:4:30 @ But what does the Scripture say? Send away the slave-woman and her son; for the slaves son shall not be heir along with the son of the free woman.

mnt@Galatians:4:31 @ So, brothers, we are the children of no slave woman, but of free woman. For freedom did not Christ set us free;
