Hagar and Sarah

21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?

21:

22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.

22:

23 But he [who was] of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman [was] by promise.

23:

24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.

24:

25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

25:

26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

26:

27 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.

27:

28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

28:

29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him [that was born] after the Spirit, even so [it is] now.

29:

30 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.

30:

31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

31:
