Galatians 4:3-8 (English Standard Version)
View In My Bible
3
In the same way we also, when we were children, 1were enslaved to the elementary principlesa of the world.
4
But 2when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, 3born 4of woman, born 5under the law,
5
6to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive 7adoption as sons.
6
And because you are sons, God has sent 8the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"
7
So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then 9an heir through God.
Paul's Concern for the Galatians
8 Formerly, when you 10did not know God, you 11were enslaved to those that by nature 12are not gods.The English Standard Version is published with the permission of Good News Publishers. (English Standard Version - The Holy Bible Online)
