And Mary said, 'Lo, the maid-servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to thy saying,' and the messenger went away from her.

Because He looked on the lowliness of His maid-servant, For, lo, henceforth call me happy shall all the generations,

'And if that servant may say in his heart, My lord doth delay to come, and may begin to beat the men-servants and the maid-servants, to eat also, and to drink, and to be drunken;

and also upon My men-servants, and upon My maid-servants, in those days, I will pour out of My Spirit, and they shall prophesy;

for it hath been written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the maid-servant, and one by the free-woman,

but he who is of the maid-servant, according to flesh hath been, and he who is of the free-woman, through the promise;

but what saith the Writing? 'Cast forth the maid-servant and her son, for the son of the maid-servant may not be heir with the son of the free-woman;'

then, brethren, we are not a maid-servant's children, but the free-woman's.
