Paul draws from the correspondences between the sons and their present-day counterparts a correspondence in destiny: the people under the law, like Ishmael, are cast out of Abraham's house; and the people of promise, like Isaac, inherit it. As one cannot both be expelled and inherit, one cannot live under both covenants. |
