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

¹ And I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth not from a servant; though he be lord of all, ² but is under tutors and governors, until the time appointed of the father. ³ Even so we, as long as we were children, were in bondage under the ordinances of the world: ⁴ But when the time was full come, God sent his son - born of a woman, and made bond unto the law - ⁵ to redeem them which were under the law: that we through election might receive the inheritance that belongeth unto the natural sons. ⁶ Because ye are sons, God hath sent the spirit of his son into our hearts, which crieth "Abba, father." ⁷ Wherefore now art thou not a servant, but a son. If thou be the son, thou art also the heir of God through Christ.
