¹⁵ And Agar brought forth a son to Abram: who called his name Ismael.

³⁰ And Sarai was barren, and had no children.

¹² And she laughed secretly, saying: After I am grown old, and my lord is an old man, shall I give myself to pleasure?

¹⁰ And he said to him: I will return and come to thee at this time, life accompanying, and Sara, thy wife, shall have a son. Which when Sara heard, she laughed behind the door of the tent.

¹ In like manner also, let wives be subject to their husbands: that, if any believe not the word, they may be won without the word, by the conversation of the wives, ² Considering your chaste conversation with fear. ³ Whose adorning, let it not be the outward plaiting of the hair, or the wearing of gold, or the putting on of apparel: ⁴ But the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptibility of a quiet and a meek spirit which is rich in the sight of God. ⁵ For after this manner heretofore, the holy women also who trusted in God adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands: ⁶ As Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters you are, doing well and not fearing any disturbance. ⁷ Ye husbands, likewise dwelling with them according to knowledge, giving honour to the female as to the weaker vessel and as to the co-heirs of the grace of life: that your prayers be not hindered. ⁸ And in fine, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, being lovers of the brotherhood, merciful, modest, humble: ⁹ Not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but contrariwise, blessing: for unto this are you called, that you may inherit a blessing. ¹⁰ For he that will love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile. ¹¹ Let him decline from evil and do good: Let him seek after peace and pursue it: ¹² Because the eyes of the Lord are upon the just, and his ears unto their prayers but the countenance of the Lord upon them that do evil things. ¹³ And who is he that can hurt you, if you be zealous of good? ¹⁴ But if also you suffer any thing for justice' sake, blessed are ye. And be not afraid of their fear: and be not troubled. ¹⁵ But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being ready always to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you. ¹⁶ But with modesty and fear, having a good conscience: that whereas they speak evil of you, they may be ashamed who falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. ¹⁷ For it is better doing well (if such be the will of God) to suffer than doing ill. ¹⁸ Because Christ also died once for our sins, the just for the unjust: that he might offer us to God, being put to death indeed in the flesh, but enlivened in the spirit, ¹⁹ In which also coming he preached to those spirits that were in prison: ²⁰ Which had been some time incredulous, when they waited for the patience of God in the days of Noe, when the ark was a building: wherein a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water. ²¹ Whereunto baptism, being of the like form, now saveth you also: not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but, the examination of a good conscience towards God by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. ²² Who is on the right hand of God, swallowing down death that we might be made heirs of life everlasting: being gone into heaven, the angels and powers and virtues being made subject to him.

¹ And the Lord visited Sara, as he had promised: and fulfilled what he had spoken. ² And she conceived and bore a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold her. ³ And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sara bore him, Isaac. ⁴ And he circumcised him the eighth day, as God had commanded him, ⁵ When he was a hundred years old: for at this age of his father, was Isaac born. ⁶ And Sara said: God hath made a laughter for me: whosoever shall hear of it will laugh with me. ⁷ And again she said: Who would believe that Abraham should hear that Sara gave suck to a son, whom she bore to him in his old age? ⁸ And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning. ⁹ And when Sara had seen the son of Agar, the Egyptian, playing with Isaac, her son, she said to Abraham: ¹⁰ Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with my son Isaac. ¹¹ Abraham took this grievously for his son. ¹² And God said to him: Let it not seem grievous to thee for the boy, and for thy bondwoman: in all that Sara hath said to thee, hearken to her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. ¹³ But I will make the son also of the bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed. ¹⁴ So Abraham rose up in the morning, and taking bread and a bottle of water, put it upon her shoulder, and delivered the boy, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Bersabee. ¹⁵ And when the water in the bottle was spent, she cast the boy under one of the trees that were there. ¹⁶ And she went her way, and sat overagainst him a great way off, as far as a bow can carry, for she said: I will not see the boy die: and sitting overagainst, she lifted up her voice and wept. ¹⁷ And God heard the voice of the boy: and an angel of God called to Agar from heaven, saying: What art thou doing, Agar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the boy, from the place wherein he is. ¹⁸ Arise, take up the boy, and hold him by the hand, for I will make him a great nation. ¹⁹ And God opened her eyes: and she saw a well of water, and went and filled the bottle, and gave the boy to drink. ²⁰ And God was with him: and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became a young man, an archer. ²¹ And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pharan, and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt. ²² At the same time Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army, said to Abraham: God is with thee in all that thou dost. ²³ Swear therefore by God, that thou wilt not hurt me, nor my posterity, nor my stock: but according to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land wherein thou hast lived a stranger. ²⁴ And Abraham said: I will swear. ²⁵ And he reproved Abimelech for a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force. ²⁶ And Abimelech answered: I knew not who did this thing: and thou didst not tell me, and I heard not of it till today. ²⁷ Then Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a league. ²⁸ And Abraham set apart seven ewelambs of the flock. ²⁹ And Abimelech said to him: What mean these seven ewelambs which thou hast set apart? ³⁰ But he said: Thou shalt take seven ewelambs at my hand: that they may be a testimony for me, that I dug this well. ³¹ Therefore that place was called Bersabee; because there both of them did swear. ³² And they made a league for the well of oath. ³³ And Abimelech and Phicol, the general of his army, arose and returned to the land of the Palestines. But Abraham planted a grove in Bersabee, and there called upon the name of the Lord God eternal. ³⁴ And he was a sojourner in the land of the Palestines many days.

⁶ As Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters you are, doing well and not fearing any disturbance.

¹¹ By faith also Sara herself, being barren, received strength to conceive seed, even past the time of age: because she believed that he was faithful who had promised,
