The Letter from Saint Paul to the Galatians 4: 22-24, 26-27, 31-5:1

4:22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: one by a servant woman, and one by a free woman.
4:23 And he who was of the servant was born according to the flesh. But he who was of the free woman was born by the promise.
4:24 These things are said through an allegory. For these represent the two testaments. Certainly the one, on Mount Sinai, gives birth unto servitude, which is Hagar.
4:26 But that Jerusalem which is above is free; the same is our mother.
4:27 For it was written: “Rejoice, O barren one, though you do not conceive. Burst forth and cry out, though you do not give birth. ઘણા માટે નિર્જન બાળકો છે, even more than of her who has a husband.”
4:30 And what does Scripture say? “Cast out the woman servant and her son. For the son of a servant women shall not be an heir with the son of a free woman.”
4:31 અને તેથી, ભાઈઓ, we are not the sons of the servant woman, but rather of the free woman. And this is the freedom with which Christ has set us free.
5:1 Stand firm, and do not be willing to be again held by the yoke of servitude.
