25. for this Hag̅ar is Mount Sinai in Araḇia, and corresponds to Yerushalayim which now is, and is in slavery with her children.
26. But the Yerushalayim above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27. For it has been written, “Rejoice, O barren, you who do not bear! Break forth and shout, you who do not have birth pains! For the deserted one has many more children than she who has a husband.”
28. And we, brothers, as Yitsḥaq was, are children of promise.
29. But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him born according to the Spirit, so also now.
30. But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the female servant and her son, for the son of the female servant shall by no means be heir with the son of the free woman.”
31. Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the female servant but of the free woman.
