Galatians 4:4-7
New American Standard Bible
4 But when (A)the fullness of the time came, God sent His Son, (B)born of a woman, born (C)under [a]the Law, 5 so that He might redeem those who were under [b]the Law, that we might receive the adoption as (D)sons and daughters. 6 Because you are sons, (E)God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “(F)Abba! [c]Father!” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and (G)if a son, then an heir [d]through God.
