Galatians:4:21-31
rkjnt@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law?
rkjnt@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman, the other by a free woman.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:23 @ He who was born by the slave woman was born according to the flesh; but the son born by the free woman was through the promise.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:24 @ These things are an allegory: for these women are the two covenants; the one from mount Sinai, who bears children into bondage; this is Hagar.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:25 @ For this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, which is in bondage with her children.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:26 @ But the Jerusalem which is above is free, and she is our mother.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written, Rejoice, you who are barren and bear no children; break forth and shout, you who are not in the pangs of birth: for the desolate woman has many more children than she who has a husband.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:28 @ Now we, brethren, like Isaac, are the children of promise.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:29 @ But as it was then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:30 @ Nevertheless, what does the scripture say? Cast out the slave woman and her son: for the son of the slave woman shall not be an heir with the son of the free woman.
rkjnt@Galatians:4:31 @ So then, brethren, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
