^{21 Ref} Tell me, ye who are willing to be under law, the law do ye not hear?

^{22 Ref} for it hath been written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the maid-servant, and one by the free-woman,

^{23 Ref} but he who `is' of the maid-servant, according to flesh hath been, and he who `is' of the free-woman, through the promise;

^{24 Ref} which things are allegorized, for these are the two covenants: one, indeed, from mount Sinai, to servitude bringing forth, which is Hagar;

^{25 Ref} for this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and doth correspond to the Jerusalem that now `is', and is in servitude with her children,

^{26 Ref} and the Jerusalem above is the free-woman, which is mother of us all,

^{27 Ref} for it hath been written, `Rejoice, O barren, who art not bearing; break forth and cry, thou who art not travailing, because many `are' the children of the desolate -- more than of her having the husband.'

^{28 Ref} And we, brethren, as Isaac, are children of promise,

^{29 Ref} but as then he who was born according to the flesh did persecute him according to the spirit, so also now;

^{30 Ref} but what saith the Writing? `Cast forth the maid-servant and her son, for the son of the maid-servant may not be heir with the son of the free-woman;'

^{31 Ref} then, brethren, we are not a maid-servant's children, but the free-woman's.
