NASB
"But the son by the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise."
— Galatians 4:23, NASB
“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.”
but I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the law?
For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondwoman and one by the free woman.
But the son by the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise.
This is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants: one proceeding from Mount Sinai bearing children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar.
Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.
But the Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother.
