26 But (A)the Jerusalem above is free; [a]she is our mother. 27 For it is written:

(B)Rejoice, infertile one, you who do not give birth;
Break forth and shout, you who are not in labor;
For the children of the desolate one are more numerous
Than those of the one who has a husband.”

28 And you, brothers and sisters, (C)like Isaac, are (D)children of promise. 29 But as at that time (E)the son who was born according to the flesh (F)persecuted the one who was born according to the Spirit, (G)so it is even now. 30 But what does the Scripture say?

(H)Drive out the slave woman and her son,
For (I)the son of the slave woman shall not be an heir with the son of the free woman.”

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