    22For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the handmaid, and one by the freewoman.

    23Howbeit the [son] by the handmaid is born after the flesh; but the [son] by the freewoman [is born] through promise.

    24Which things contain an allegory: for these [women] are two covenants; one from mount Sinai, bearing children unto bondage, which is Hagar.

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

    30Howbeit what saith the scripture? Cast out the handmaid and her son: for the son of the handmaid shall not inherit with the son of the freewoman.

    31Wherefore, brethren, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the freewoman.
