Galatians 4:21-31 — Hagar and Sarah

Gal.4.21-31

²¹Tell me, you who want to be under the law, do you not hear the law? ²²For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and one by the free woman. ²³But the one by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, while the other by the free woman was born through promise . ²⁴These things are taken as an allegory, for these are two covenants: one from Mount Sinai, bearing children into slavery, which is Hagar. ²⁵Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. ²⁶But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother . ²⁷For it is written: “Rejoice, barren woman who does not bear; break forth and shout, you who are not in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband.” ²⁸Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. ²⁹But just as then the one born according to the flesh persecuted the one born according to the Spirit, so also it is now. ³⁰But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman will by no means inherit with the son of the free woman.” ³¹Therefore, brothers , we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
