Galatians 4:22-24

GOD’S WORD Translation

²² Scripture says that Abraham had two sons, one by a woman who was a slave and the other by a free woman. ²³ Now, the son of the slave woman was conceived in a natural way, but the son of the free woman was conceived through a promise ⌞made to Abraham⌟.

²⁴ I’m going to use these historical events as an illustration. The women illustrate two arrangements.^[a] The one woman, Hagar, is the arrangement made on Mount Sinai. Her children are born into slavery.
