Galatians 4:22-25
New American Standard Bible
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, (A)one by the slave woman and (B)one by the free woman. 23 But (C)the son by the slave woman [a]was born according to the flesh, and (D)the son by the free woman through the promise. 24 [b](E)This is speaking allegorically, for these women are two covenants: one coming from (F)Mount Sinai giving birth to children [c]who are to be (G)slaves; [d]she is Hagar. 25 Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is enslaved with her children.

Galatians 4:22-25
New International Version
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman(A) and the other by the free woman.(B) 23 His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh,(C) but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise.(D)
24 These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.
