22For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
24Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
28Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
31So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
22For it is written, that Abraham had two sonnes, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23But he who was of the bondwoman, was borne after the flesh: but hee of the freewoman, was by promise.
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.
29But as then hee that was borne after the flesh, persecuted him that was borne after the Spirit, euen so it is now.
30Neuerthelesse, what saith the Scripture? *Cast out the bondwoman and her sonne: for the son of the bondwoman shall not bee heire with the son of the freewoman.
31So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

33¶ They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
33¶ They answered him, We be Abraham seed, and were neuer in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Yee shall be made free?
34Iesus answered them, Uerily, verily I say vnto you, *Whosoeuer committeth sinne, is the seruant of sinne.
35And the seruant abideth not in the house for euer: but the Sonne abideth euer.
36If the Sonne therfore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37I know that yee are Abrahams seed, but ye seeke to kill mee, because my word hath no place in you.
38I speake that which I haue seene with my Father: and ye do that which ye haue seene with your father.
39They answered, and said vnto him, Abraham is our father. Iesus sayth vnto them, If yee were Abrahams children, ye would doe the works of Abraham.
40But now yee seeke to kill me, a man that hath tolde you the trueth, which I haue heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41Ye doe the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not borne of fornication, wee haue one Father, euen God.
42Iesus said vnto them, If God were your Father, yee would loue me, for I proceeded foorth, and came from God: neither came I of my selfe, but he sent me.
43Why doe yee not vnderstand my speech? euen because yee cannot heare my word.
44*Ye are of your father the deuill, and the lusts of your father ye will doe: hee was a murtherer from the beginning, and abode not in the trueth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his owne: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

6For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
