Galatians 4:3

MSG

NIV

3 That is the way it is with us: When we were minors, we were just like slaves ordered around by simple instructions (the tutors and administrators of this world), with no say in the conduct of our own lives.
3 So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces of the world.
