to reveal His Son in me, so that I could preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone.

But if we ourselves are also found to be “sinners” while seeking to be justified by Christ, is Christ then a promoter of sin? Absolutely not!

and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

But the Scripture has imprisoned everything under sin’s power, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

When the time came to completion, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”

So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

These things are illustrations, for the women represent the two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai and bears children into slavery—this is Hagar.

Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.

But what does the Scripture say?

Drive out the slave and her son, for the son of the slave will never be a coheir with the son of the free woman.
