Galatians 4:23-25
1599 Geneva Bible
23 But he which was of the servant, was born after the [a]flesh: and he which was of the free woman, was born by [b]promise.
24 By the which things another thing is meant: for [c]these mothers are the [d]two Testaments, the one which is Hagar of mount [e]Sinai, which gendereth unto bondage.
25 (For Hagar or Sinai is a mountain in Arabia, and it [f]answered to Jerusalem which now is) and [g]she is in bondage with her children.
