Galatians:4:21 @
Say ,
you whose desire it is to be under the law ,
do you not give ear to the law ?
bbe @
Galatians:4:22 @
Because it is in the Writings ,
that Abraham had two sons ,
one by the servant-woman ,
and one by the free woman .
bbe @
Galatians:4:23 @
Now the son by the servant-woman has his birth after the flesh ;
but the son by the free woman has his birth through the undertaking of God .
bbe @
Galatians:4:24 @
Which things have a secret sense ;
because these women are the two agreements ;
one from the mountain of Sinai ,
giving birth to servants ,
which is Hagar .
bbe @
Galatians:4:25 @
Now this Hagar is the mountain Sinai in Arabia ,
and is the image of the Jerusalem which now is :
which is a servant with her children .
bbe @
Galatians:4:26 @
But the Jerusalem on high is free ,
which is our mother .
bbe @
Galatians:4:27 @
For it is in the Writings ,
You who have never given birth ,
be glad ;
give cries of joy ,
you who have had no birth-pains ;
for the children of her who has been given up by her husband are more than those of the woman who has a husband .
bbe @
Galatians:4:28 @
Now we ,
brothers ,
as Isaac was ,
are the children of the undertaking of God .
bbe @
Galatians:4:29 @
But as in those days he who had birth after the flesh was cruel to him who had birth after the Spirit ,
even so it is now .
bbe @
Galatians:4:30 @
What then do the Writings say ?
Send away the servant-woman and her son ;
for the son of the servant-woman will not have a part in the heritage with the son of the free woman .
bbe @
Galatians:4:31 @
So ,
brothers ,
we are not children of the servant-woman ,
but of the free woman .
