* Tell (5720 ) me , ye that desire (5723 ) to be (5750 ) under the law , do ye not hear (5719 ) the law ? * For it is written (5769 ), that Abraham had (5627 ) two sons , the one by a bondmaid , the other by a freewoman . * But he who was of the bondwoman was born (5769 ) after the flesh ; but he of the freewoman was by promise . * Which things are (5748 ) an allegory (5746 ): for these are (5748 ) the two covenants ; the one from the mount Sinai , which gendereth (5723 ) to bondage , which is (5748 ) Agar . * For this Agar is (5748 ) mount Sinai in Arabia , and answereth (5719 ) to Jerusalem which now is , and is in bondage (5719 ) with her children . * But Jerusalem which is above is (5748 ) free , which is (5748 ) the mother of us all . * For it is written (5769 ), Rejoice (5682 ), thou barren that bearest (5723 ) not ; break forth (5657 ) and cry (5657 ), thou that travailest (5723 ) not : for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath (5723 ) an husband . * Now we , brethren , as Isaac was , are (5748 ) the children of promise . * But as then he that was born (5685 ) after the flesh persecuted (5707 ) him that was born after the Spirit , even so it is now . * Nevertheless what saith (5719 ) the scripture ? Cast out (5628 ) the bondwoman and her son : for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir (5661 ) with the son of the freewoman . * So then , brethren , we are (5748 ) not children of the bondwoman , but of the free .
