    23But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, but he of the freewoman was through promise.

    24These things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar.

    25For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

    26But the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.

    27For it is written: 'Rejoice, O barren, you who do not bear! Break forth and shout, you who are not in labor! For the desolate has many more children than she who has a husband.'

    28Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.

    29But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.

    30Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? 'Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.'

    31So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.

    4But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

    5To redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
