Galatians 4:1-6

1 Let me explain further. As long as an heir is a child, he is no better off than a slave, even though he owns everything.

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 He is placed under the control of guardians and trustees until the time set by his father.

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

3 It was the same way with us. When we were children, we were slaves to the principles of this world.

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

4 But when the right time came, God sent his Son [into the world]. A woman gave birth to him, and he came under the control of God's laws.

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

5 God sent him to pay for the freedom of those who were controlled by these laws so that we would be adopted as his children.

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

6 Because you are God's children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into us to call out, "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.”
