Galatians 4:26 in context

  1. 24Which things contain an allegory: for these women are two covenants; one from mount Sinai, bearing children unto bondage, which is Hagar.
  2. 25Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia and answereth to the Jerusalem that now is: for she is in bondage with her children.
  3. 26But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother.
  4. 27For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; Break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: For more are the children of the desolate than of her that hath the husband.
  5. 28Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
