Cast out the handmaid and her son: for the son of the handmaid shall not inherit with the son of the freewoman. 31 Wherefore, brethren, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the freewoman. 1 For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.
