Put out the seruant and her sonne: for the sonne of the seruant shall not be heire with the sonne of the free woman. 31 Then brethren, we are not children of the seruant, but of the free woman. 1 Stand fast therefore in the libertie wherewith Christ hath made vs free, and be not intangled againe with the yoke of bondage.
