⁹ And Sarah saw the son of Hagar ^(A)the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, ^(B)scoffing.^{[a] 10} Therefore she said to Abraham, ^(C)“Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, namely with Isaac.” ¹¹ And the matter was very ^[b]displeasing in Abraham’s sight ^(D)because of his son.

²² For it is written that Abraham had two sons: ^(A)the one by a bondwoman, ^(B)the other by a freewoman. ²³ But he who was of the bondwoman ^(C)was born according to the flesh, ^(D)and he of the freewoman through promise, ²⁴ which things are symbolic. For these are ^[a]the two covenants: the one from Mount ^(E)Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— ²⁵ for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— ²⁶ but the ^(F)Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.

²⁸ Now ^(A)we, brethren, as Isaac was, are ^(B)children of promise. ²⁹ But, as ^(C)he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, ^(D)even so it is now. ³⁰ Nevertheless what does ^(E)the Scripture say? ^(F)“Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for ^(G)the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.” ³¹ So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.
