Galatians 4:1-6

World English Bible WEB

1 But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all;

2 but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.

3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elements of the world.

4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,

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

6 And because you are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, "Abba, Father!"

New International Version NIV

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

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

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

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