Galatians 4:1-7
1NowG1161 I sayG3004, as longG5550 as the heirG2818 is a 1childG3516, he does not differG1308 at allG3761 from a slaveG1401 although he is 2ownerG2962 of everythingG3956, 2but he is underG5259 guardiansG2012 and 3managersG3623 untilG891 the dateG4287 setG4287 by the fatherG3962. 3SoG3779 alsoG2532 we, whileG3753 we were childrenG3516, were heldG1402 4in bondageG1402 underG5259 the 56elementalG4747 thingsG4747 of the worldG2889. 4But whenG3753 7the fullnessG4138 of the timeG5550 cameG2064, GodG2316 sentG1821 forthG1821 His SonG5207, 8bornG1096 of a womanG1135, bornG1096 9underG5259 10the LawG3551, 5soG2443 that He might redeemG1805 thoseG3588 who were underG5259 11the LawG3551, that we might receiveG618 the adoptionG5206 as 12sonsG5206. 6BecauseG3754 you are sonsG5207, 13GodG2316 has sentG1821 forthG1821 the SpiritG4151 of His SonG5207 into our heartsG2588, cryingG2896, “14AbbaG5! FatherG3962!” 7ThereforeG5620 you are noG3765 longerG3765 a slaveG1401, but a sonG5207; and 15ifG1487 a sonG5207, thenG2532 an heirG2818 16throughG1223 GodG2316.
