Galatians 4:1-5

Goodspeed(i) 1 I mean this: As long as the heir is a minor, he is no better than a slave, although he is the owner of all the property, 2 but he is under guardians and trustees until the time fixed by his father. 3 So when we were minors, we were slaves to material ways of looking at things, 4 but when the proper time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, and made subject to law, 5 to ransom those who were subject to law, so that we might receive adoption.
