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

    22For it is written that Abraham had two sons: one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman.

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

    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.'

    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.

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