Galatians 4:21-26

Galatians 4:21-26 CSB

Tell me, you who want to be under the law, don’t you hear the law? For it is written that Abraham  had two sons, one by a slave  and the other by a free woman. But the one by the slave was born as a result of the flesh, while the one by the free woman was born through promise. These things are being taken figuratively, for the women represent two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai  and bears children into slavery #— #this is Hagar.  Now Hagar represents Mount Sinai in Arabia  and corresponds to the present Jerusalem,  for she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem above  is free, and she is our mother.
