"For Sinai is a mountain in Arabia, which is related to the Jerusalem of the present time, and it serves with her sons. "
— Galatians 4:25, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.”
“Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia and answereth to the Jerusalem that now is: for she is in bondage with her children. ”
“For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.”
“Now Hagar represents Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.”
“For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is: and is in bondage with her children.”
“Now this Hagar is the mountain Sinai in Arabia, and is the image of the Jerusalem which now is: which is a servant with her children.”
“For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.”
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.
For it was written: “Rejoice, O barren one, though you do not conceive. Burst forth and cry out, though you do not give birth. For many are the children of the desolate, even more than of her who has a husband.”
Now we, brothers, like Isaac, are sons of the promise.
