    21Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don't you listen to the law?

    22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the handmaid, and one by the free woman.

    23However, the son by the handmaid was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.

    24These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.

    26But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

    27For it is written, "Rejoice, you barren who don't bear. Break forth and shout, you that don't travail. For more are the children of the desolate than of her who has a husband."

    28Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.

    29But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.

    30However what does the Scripture say? "Throw out the handmaid and her son, for the son of the handmaid will not inherit with the son of the free woman."

    31So then, brothers, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the free woman.
