Galatians 4:1-7 - No Longer Slaves But Sons And Heirs
1 But I say the heir, for as long a time as he is a child, differs nothing from a bondman though he is lord of all. 2 Instead he is under stewards and managers until the time appointed from the father. 3 And so when we were children, we were in bondage under the rudiments of the world. 4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born from a woman, born under law, 5 so that he might redeem those under law, so that we might receive the sonship. 6 And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 So that thou are no longer a bondman but a son, and if a son, then an heir through Christ.
