¹⁰ So she said to Abraham, ^(A)“Cast out this slave woman with her son, for the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.”

²² For it is written that Abraham had two sons, ^(A)one by a slave woman and ^(B)one by a free woman. ²³ But ^(C)the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, while ^(D)the son of the free woman was born through promise. ²⁴ Now this may be interpreted allegorically: these women are two ^(E)covenants. ^(F)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 ^(G)the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. ²⁷ For it is written,

²⁸ Now you,^[b] brothers, ^(I)like Isaac, ^(J)are children of promise. ²⁹ But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh ^(K)persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, ^(L)so also it is now. ³⁰ But what does the Scripture say? ^(M)“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 ^(N)of the free woman.

^19 (A)They went out from us, but they were not of us; for ^(B)if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, ^(C)that it might become plain that they all are not of us.

^35 (A)The slave does not remain in the house forever; ^(B)the son remains forever.

⁴ to ^(A)an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and ^(B)unfading, ^(C)kept in heaven for you,

⁷ So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then ^(A)an heir through God.

¹⁸ For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but ^(A)God gave it to Abraham by a promise.

¹³ Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and ^(A)cast him into the outer darkness. In that place ^(B)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

¹¹ I tell you, ^(A)many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, ^12 (B)while the sons of the kingdom ^(C)will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place ^(D)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
