Galatians 4:1-7 - No Longer Slaves But Sons And Heirs

¹ But I say, that the heir, as long as he is a minor, differs in no respect from a servant, though he is owner of all; ² but is under guardians and managers till the time appointed by the father. ³ So, also, we, when we were minors, were in bondage under the rudiments of the world. ⁴ But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, ⁵ that he might buy off those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption. ⁶ And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. ⁷ So, then, you are no longer a servant, but a son; and if a son, an heir also of God, through Christ.
