Galatians 4:23 in Context — Galatians 4

21 Decidme, los que queréis estar debajo de la ley, ¿no habéis oído la ley?

22 Porque escrito está que Abraham tuvo dos hijos; uno de la sierva, el otro de la libre.

23 Mas el de la sierva nació según la carne; pero el de la libre [nació] por la promesa.

24 Las cuales cosas son dichas por alegoría: porque estas [mujeres] son los dos pactos; el uno ciertamente del monte Sinaí, el cual engendró para servidumbre, que es Agar.

25 Porque Agar ó Sinaí es un monte de Arabia, el cual es conjunto á la que ahora es Jerusalem, la cual sirve con sus hijos.
