Galatians 4:3-7
3So also we, while we were children, were held 1in bondage under the 23elemental things of the world. 4But when 4the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, 5born of a woman, born 6under 7the Law, 5so that He might redeem those who were under 8the Law, that we might receive the adoption as 9sons. 6Because you are sons, 10God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “11Abba! Father!” 7Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and 12if a son, then an heir 13through God.
