Galatians 4:3-7 So also, when we were children, we were in slavery under the elemental things of the world.

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ So also, when we were children, we were in slavery under the elemental things of the world. ⁴ But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, ⁵ to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. ⁶ Because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" ⁷ So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.
