"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. "
— Galatians 4:23, Catholic Public Domain Version
“But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.”
“Howbeit the son by the handmaid is born after the flesh; but the son by the freewoman is born through promise. ”
“However, the son by the handmaid was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.”
“But one, the son by the slave woman, was born by natural descent, while the other, the son by the free woman, was born through the promise.”
“But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh: but he of the free woman was by promise.”
“Now the son by the servant-woman has his birth after the flesh; but the son by the free woman has his birth through the undertaking of God.”
“But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.”
And I would willingly be present with you, even now. But I would alter my voice: for I am ashamed of you.
Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, have you not read the law?
For it is written that Abraham had two sons: one by a servant woman, and one by a free woman.
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.
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.
For Sinai is a mountain in Arabia, which is related to the Jerusalem of the present time, and it serves with her sons.
But that Jerusalem which is above is free; the same is our mother.
