Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.

These things may be taken figuratively, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. Now hagar stands for mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.

Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.
