For these are two testamentes: the one from the mount Sina, which gendreth vnto bondage, which is Agar. 25 For Agar is the mount Sina in Arabia, and bordreth vpon the citie, which is nowe called Hierusalem, and is in bondage with her chyldren. 26 But Hierusalem which is aboue, is free: which is the mother of vs all. 27 For it is written: Reioyce thou baren, that bearest no chyldren, breake foorth and crye, thou that trauaylest not: For the desolate hath many mo chyldren, then she which hath an husbande. 28 But brethren, we are after Isaac the chyldren of promise. 29 But as then he that was borne after the fleshe, persecuted hym that was borne after the spirite: euen so is it now. 30 Neuerthelesse, what saith the scripture? put away the bondwoman and her sonne: For the sonne of the bondwoman, shall not be heire with the sonne of the free woman. 31 So then brethren, we are not chyldren of the bonde woman, but of the free. 1 Stande fast therfore in the libertie wherwith Christe hath made vs free, and be not intangled agayne with ye yoke of bondage.
