Galatians 4:17-31

[17] They zealously affect  but not  well;  yea,  they would  exclude  that  ye might affect  them.  [18] But  it is good  to be zealously affected  always  in  a good  thing, and  not  only  when  am present  with  [19] of whom  I travail in birth  again  Christ  be formed  in  [20] I desire  to be present  with  now,  and  to change  voice;  for  I stand in doubt  of  [21] Tell  ye that desire  under  the law,  not  hear  the law?  [22] For  it is written,  that  Abraham  had  two  sons,  the one  by  a bondmaid,  the other  by  a freewoman.  [23] But  he  who was of  the bondwoman  was born  after  the flesh;  but  he of  the freewoman  was by  promise.  [24] Which things  an allegory:  for  these  the two  covenants;  from  the mount  Sinai,  which gendereth  to  bondage,  which  Agar.  [25] For  this Agar  mount  Sinai  in  Arabia,  and  answereth  to Jerusalem  which  now is,  and  is in bondage  with  her  children.  [26] But  Jerusalem  which is above  free,  which  the mother  [27] For  it is written,  Rejoice,  thou barren  that bearest  not;  break forth  and  cry,  thou that travailest  not:  for  the desolate  hath many more  children  than  she which hath  an husband.  [28] Now  brethren,  Isaac  was,  the children  of promise.  [29] But  as  then  he that was born  after  the flesh  persecuted  him that was born after  the Spirit,  even  so  it is now.  [30] Nevertheless  what  saith  the scripture?  Cast out  the bondwoman  and  her  son:  for  the son  of the bondwoman  be heir  with  the son  of the freewoman.  [31] brethren,  not  children  of the bondwoman,  but  of the free.
