Galatians 4:23 in Context — Galatians 4

21 Dites-moi, vous qui voulez être sous la loi, n’entendez-vous point la loi?

22 Car il est écrit qu’Abraham eut deux fils, un de la femme esclave, et un de la femme libre.

23 Mais celui de l’esclave naquit selon la chair, et celui de la femme libre naquit en vertu de la promesse.

24 Ces choses sont allégoriques; car ces femmes sont deux alliances. L’une du mont Sinaï, enfantant pour la servitude, c’est Agar,

25 car Agar, c’est le mont Sinaï en Arabie, et elle correspond à la Jérusalem actuelle, qui est dans la servitude avec ses enfants.
