* Tell me , ye that desire to be under the law , do ye not hear the law ? * For it is written , that Abraham had two sons , the one by a bondmaid , the other by a freewoman . * But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh ; but he of the freewoman was by promise . * Which things are an allegory : for these are the two covenants ; the one from the mount Sinai , which gendereth to bondage , which is Agar . * For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia , and answereth to Jerusalem which now is , and is in bondage with her children . * But Jerusalem which is above is free , which is the mother of us all . * For it is written , Rejoice , thou barren that bearest not ; break forth and cry , thou that travailest not : for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband . * Now we , brethren , as Isaac was , are the children of promise . * But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit , even so it is now . * Nevertheless what saith the scripture ? Cast out the bondwoman and her son : for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman . * So then , brethren , we are not children of the bondwoman , but of the free .
