Galatians 4:1-7

1What I am sayingG3004 is that as long asG1909G3745G5550 theG3588 heirG2818 isG1510 a childG3516, he is no differentG1308G3762 from a slaveG1401, although he isG1510 the ownerG2962 of everythingG3956. 2He isG1510 subject toG5259 guardiansG2012 andG2532 trusteesG3623 untilG891 theG3588 date setG4287 byG3588 his fatherG3962.

3SoG3779 alsoG2532, whenG3753 we wereG1510 childrenG3516, weG1473 wereG1510 enslavedG1402 underG5259 theG3588 basic principlesG47471 of theG3588 worldG2889. 4ButG1161 whenG3753 theG3588 timeG5550 had fullyG4138 comeG2064, GodG2316 sentG1821 HisG846 SonG5207, bornG1096 ofG1537 a womanG1135, bornG1096 underG5259 the lawG3551, 5to redeemG1805 thoseG3588 underG5259 the lawG3551, thatG2443 we might receiveG618 our adoption as sonsG5206. 6AndG1161 becauseG3754 you areG1510 sonsG5207, GodG2316 sentG1821 theG3588 SpiritG4151 ofG3588 HisG846 SonG5207 intoG1519 ourG1473 heartsG2588, crying outG2896, “AbbaG5, FatherG3962!” 7SoG5620 you areG1510 no longerG3765 a slaveG1401, butG235 a sonG5207; andG1161 sinceG1487 you are a sonG5207, you are alsoG2532 an heirG2818 throughG1223 GodG2316.
