Galatians 4:23
However, the son by the servant was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.

Galatians 4:21
Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don’t you listen to the law?
Galatians 4:22
For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant, and one by the free woman.
Galatians 4:23
However, the son by the servant was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.
Galatians 4:24
These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.
Galatians 4:25
For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.
Galatians 4:26
But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Galatians 4:27
For it is written, “Rejoice, you barren who don’t bear. Break out and shout, you who don’t travail. For the desolate women have more children than her who has a husband.”
Galatians 4:28
Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
Galatians 4:29
But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
Galatians 4:30
However, what does the Scripture say? “Throw out the servant and her son, for the son of the servant will not inherit with the son of the free woman.”
Galatians 4:31
So then, brothers, we are not children of a servant, but of the free woman.
Galatians 4:1
But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all,
Galatians 3:24
So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring that he would be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
