    23but he who `is' of the maid-servant, according to flesh hath been, and he who `is' of the free-woman, through the promise;

    24which things are allegorized, for these are the two covenants: one, indeed, from mount Sinai, to servitude bringing forth, which is Hagar;

    25for this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and doth correspond to the Jerusalem that now `is', and is in servitude with her children,

    26and the Jerusalem above is the free-woman, which is mother of us all,

    27for it hath been written, `Rejoice, O barren, who art not bearing; break forth and cry, thou who art not travailing, because many `are' the children of the desolate -- more than of her having the husband.'

    28And we, brethren, as Isaac, are children of promise,

    29but as then he who was born according to the flesh did persecute him according to the spirit, so also now;

    30but what saith the Writing? `Cast forth the maid-servant and her son, for the son of the maid-servant may not be heir with the son of the free-woman;'

    31then, brethren, we are not a maid-servant's children, but the free-woman's.
