Galatians 4:1-6 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
1
What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate.
2
He is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father.
3
So also, when we were children, we were in slavery1 under the basic principles of the world.2
4
But when the time had fully come,3 God sent his Son,4 born of a woman,5 born under law,6
5
to redeem7 those under law, that we might receive the full rights8 of sons.9
6
Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son10 into our hearts,11 the Spirit who calls out, ""Abba",a Father."12
