Galatians 4:26 Context
24Which things are an Allegorie; for these are the two Couenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. 25For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Ierusalem, which now is, and is in bondage with her children. 26But Ierusalem which is aboue is free, which is the mother of vs all. 27For it is written, Reioyce thou barren that bearest not, breake foorth and cry thou that traueilest not; for the desolate hath many moe children then she which hath an husband. 28Now wee, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
