Galatians 4:21–5:1

²¹Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? ²²For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, ^sthe one by a bondmaid, ^tthe other by a freewoman. ²³But ^uhe who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; ^twbut he of the freewoman was by promise. ²⁴Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; ^xthe one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth ^yto bondage, which is Agar. ²⁵For this Agar is mount Sinai in ^zArabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and ^yis in bondage with her children. ²⁶But ^aJerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. ²⁷For it is written, ^bRejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many moe children than she which hath a husband. ²⁸Now we, ^cbrethren, as Isaac was, are ^cthe children of promise. ²⁹But as then ^dhe that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, ^eeven so it is now. ³⁰Nevertheless what saith ^fthe scripture? ^gCast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. ³¹So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, ^hbut of the free.

V.^aStand fast therefore in ^bthe liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with ^cthe yoke ^dof bondage.
