Galatians 4:1-6

1 Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth in nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all.

1 What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate.

2 But he is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father.

2 The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father.

3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world.

3 So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces of the world.

4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

4 But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

5 to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.

6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, "Abba, Father."

6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”
