Galatians 4:1-5

Twentieth_Century(i) 1 My point is this--As long as the heir is under age, there is no difference between him and a slave, though he is master of the whole estate. 2 He is subject to the control of guardians and stewards, during the period for which his father has power to appoint them. 3 And so is it with us; when we were under age, as it were, we were slaves to the puerile teaching of this world; 4 But, when the full time came, God sent his Son--born a woman's child, born subject to Law-- 5 To ransom those who were subject to Law, so that we might take our position as sons.
