ABU(i)
21 Tell me, ye who desire to be under law, do ye not hear the law?
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondwoman, and one by the freewoman.
23 But the one by the bondwoman was born after the flesh, and the one by the freewoman through the promise.
24 Which things are an allegory. For these women are two covenants, one from mount Sinai, bearing children into bondage,
25 which is Hagar (for the word Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia), and answers to the Jerusalem that now is, for she is in bondage with her children.
26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27 For it is written: Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; Break forth and cry, thou that travailest not; Because many are the children of the desolate, rather than of her who has the husband.
28 But ye, brethren, after the manner of Isaac, are children of promise.
29 But as then, the one born after the flesh persecuted the one born after the spirit, so also is it now.
30 But what says the Scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son; for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free-woman.
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of a bondwoman, but of the freewoman.
