Galatians 4:23-27
Galatians 4:23
But the son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise.
Galatians 4:24
This is speaking allegorically, for these women are two covenants: one coming from Mount Sinai giving birth to children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar.
Galatians 4:25
Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is enslaved with her children.
Galatians 4:26
But the Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother.
Galatians 4:27
For it is written: “Rejoice, infertile one, you who do not give birth; Break forth and shout, you who are not in labor; For the children of the desolate one are more numerous Than those of the one who has a husband.”
