Galatians 4:1-7 - No Longer Slaves But Sons And Heirs
1 But I say that, so long as the heir is a child, he differs in nothing from a slave, though he is lord of all; 2 but is under guardians and stewards, until the time appointed by the father. 3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elements of the world. 4 But, when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under law, 5 that He might redeem those under law, that, we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And, because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba," Father. 7 So that you are no longer a slave, but a son; and, if a son, also an heir through God.
