Galatians 4:26

4:26 But the Jerusalem above is free, ¹  and she is our mother.

Galatians 5:18

5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

[4:26]  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.
