    23However, the son by the handmaid was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.

    24These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.

    25For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.

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

    27For it is written, "Rejoice, you barren who don't bear. Break forth and shout, you that don't travail. For more are the children of the desolate than of her who has a husband."

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

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

    30However what does the Scripture say? "Throw out the handmaid and her son, for the son of the handmaid will not inherit with the son of the free woman."

    31So then, brothers, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the free woman.

    5that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of children.
