- Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says?
- For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.
- His son by the slave woman was born in the ordinary way; but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a promise.
- These things may be taken figuratively, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar.
- Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.
|
- Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the law?
- For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondwoman and one by the free woman.
- But the son by the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise.
- This is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants: one proceeding from Mount Sinai bearing children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar.
- Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.
|
- But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
- For it is written: "Be glad, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have no labor pains; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband."
- Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.
- At that time the son born in the ordinary way persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now.
- But what does the Scripture say? "Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman's son."
|
- But the Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother.
- For it is written, "REJOICE, BARREN WOMAN WHO DOES NOT BEAR; BREAK FORTH AND SHOUT, YOU WHO ARE NOT IN LABOR; FOR MORE NUMEROUS ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE DESOLATE THAN OF THE ONE WHO HAS A HUSBAND."
- And you brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise.
- But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also.
- But what does the Scripture say? "CAST OUT THE BONDWOMAN AND HER SON, FOR THE SON OF THE BONDWOMAN SHALL NOT BE AN HEIR WITH THE SON OF THE FREE WOMAN."
|
- Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
|
- So then, brethren, we are not children of a bondwoman, but of the free woman.
