Galatians 4:25-27

New International Version - UK

²⁵Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. ²⁶But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. ²⁷For it is written:

‘Be glad, barren woman,
    you who never bore a child;
break forth and cry aloud,
    you who were never in labour;
because more are the children of the desolate woman
    than of her who has a husband.’^[a]
