Galatians 4:1-7

Sonship in Christ

Now I say, as long as the heir is a ¹child, he does not differ at all from a slave although he is ²owner of everything, 2 but he is under guardians and stewards until the date set by the father. 3 So also we, while we were children, were ^aenslaved under the ¹^belemental things of the world. 4 But when ^athe fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, ^bborn of a woman, born ^cunder ¹the Law, 5 so that He might redeem those who were under ¹the Law, that we might receive the adoption as ^asons. 6 And because you are sons, ^aGod sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “^bAbba! Father!” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and ^aif a son, then an heir ¹through God.
