Galatians 4:21-31

New King James Version

Two Covenants^(A)

²¹ Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? ²² For it is written that Abraham had two sons: ^(B)the one by a bondwoman, ^(C)the other by a freewoman. ²³ But he who was of the bondwoman ^(D)was born according to the flesh, ^(E)and he of the freewoman through promise, ²⁴ which things are symbolic. For these are ^[a]the two covenants: the one from Mount ^(F)Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— ²⁵ for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— ²⁶ but the ^(G)Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. ²⁷ For it is written:

²⁸ Now ^(I)we, brethren, as Isaac was, are ^(J)children of promise. ²⁹ But, as ^(K)he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, ^(L)even so it is now. ³⁰ Nevertheless what does ^(M)the Scripture say? ^(N)“Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for ^(O)the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.” ³¹ So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.
