Certainly not! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious.

    21Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not listen to the law?

    22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and one by the free woman.

    23But the son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, while the son by the free woman was born through the promise.

    24Now these things may be interpreted allegorically: These women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery—this is Hagar.

    25Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.

    26But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.

    27For it is written: 'Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear; break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than those of the one who has a husband.'

    28Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.

    29But just as the one born according to the flesh persecuted the one born through the Spirit, so it is also now.
