Galatians 4:26-5:1
English Standard Version
26 But (A)the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. 27 For it is written,
(B)“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,[a] brothers, (C)like Isaac, (D)are children of promise. 29 But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh (E)persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, (F)so also it is now. 30 But what does the Scripture say? (G)“Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.” 31 So, brothers, we are not children of the slave but (H)of the free woman.
Christ Has Set Us Free
5 For (I)freedom Christ has (J)set us free; (K)stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to (L)a yoke of (M)slavery.
