Galatians 4:23 in Context — Galatians 4

21 Respondei-me vós, que quereis estar sob a Lei: não ouvis a Lei?

22 Pois está escrito que Abraão tinha dois filhos: um da escrava, e outro da livre.

23 O da escrava nasceu segundo a carne, mas o da livre, pela promessa.

24 Isto serve de ilustração, pois estes são dois pactos: um é o do monte Sinai, que gera filhos para a escravidão, que é Agar.

25 Pois esta Agar é o monte Sinai, na Arábia, e corresponde à Jerusalém de agora, e é escravizada com os filhos dela.
