Galatians 4:24-28
English Standard Version
24 Now this may be interpreted allegorically: these women are two (A)covenants. (B)One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; she is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia;[a] she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. 26 But (C)the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. 27 For it is written,
(D)“Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear;
break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor!
For the children of the desolate one will be more
than those of the one who has a husband.”
28 Now you,[b] brothers, (E)like Isaac, (F)are children of promise.
