For where no lawe is, there is no transgression. 16 Therefore by fayth is the inheritaunce geuen that it might come by grace, that the promise myght be sure to all ye seede, not to that only which is of the lawe, but to that also which is of the fayth of Abraham, which is the father of vs al.

- Gal 4:22-31 : 22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sonnes, the one by a bonde mayde, the other by a free woman: 23 But he which was of the bonde woman, was borne after the fleshe: but he which was of the free woman, was borne by promise. 24 Which thynges are spoken by an allegorie. 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.
