Galatians 4:1-7 - No Longer Slaves But Sons And Heirs
1 Now as long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a servant, though he is to be lord of all: 2 but is under guardians and managers till the time appointed by the father. 3 So we when we were children, were in servitude under the elements of the world: 4 but when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son born of a woman made under the law, 5 that He might redeem those that were 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 So that thou art no longer a servant, but a son; and if a son, an heir also of God through Christ.
