Galatians 4:1-7 - No Longer Slaves But Sons And Heirs
1 Now I say the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 But is under tutors and stewards, till the time appointed by the father. 3 So we also, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. 4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, 5 made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem those under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
