Galatians 4:1-7
Sonship in Christ
4Now I say, as long as the heir is a 1child, he does not differ at all from a slave although he is 2owner of everything, 2but he is under guardians and stewards until the date set by the father. 3So also we, while we were children, were aenslaved under the 1,belemental things of the world. 4But when athe fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, bborn of a woman, born cunder 1the Law, 5so that He might redeem those who were under 1the Law, that we might receive the adoption as asons. 6And because you are sons, aGod sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “bAbba! Father!” 7Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and aif a son, then an heir 1through God.
