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

¹ Now I say, As long as the heir is a child, he differs nothing from a bondman, though he be lord of all; ² but he is under guardians and stewards until the period fixed by the father. ³ So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the principles of the world; ⁴ but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, come of woman, come under law, ⁵ that he might redeem those under law, that we might receive sonship. ⁶ But because ye are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father. ⁷ So thou art no longer bondman, but son; but if son, heir also through God.
