Galatians 4:26

But the Jerusalem above is free, ¹  and she is our mother.

Ps 87:3-6; So 8:1,2; Isa 2:2,3; Isa 50:1; Isa 52:9; Isa 62:1,2; Isa 65:18; Isa 66:10; Ho 2:2,5; Ho 4:5; Joe 3:17; Mic 4:1,2; Joh 8:36; Ro 6:14,18; Ga 4:22; Ga 5:1; Php 3:20; Heb 12:22; 1Pe 2:16; Re 3:12; Re 17:5; Re 21:2,10-27

¹ sn The meaning of the statement the Jerusalem above is free is that the other woman represents the second covenant (cf. v. 24); she corresponds to the Jerusalem above that is free. Paul’s argument is very condensed at this point.
