Galatians 4:3-7
3So we too, when we were children, were held 1in bondage under the 23elementary principles of the world. 4But when 4the fullness of the time came, God sent 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 and daughters. 6Because you are sons, 10God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “11Abba! 12Father!” 7Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and 13if a son, then an heir 14through God.
