Galatians 3:26-4:7

English Standard Version

²⁶ for in Christ Jesus ^(A)you are all sons of God, through faith. ²⁷ For as many of you as ^(B)were baptized ^(C)into Christ have ^(D)put on Christ. ^28 (E)There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave^[a] nor free, ^(F)there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. ²⁹ And ^(G)if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, ^(H)heirs according to promise.

Sons and Heirs

4 I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave,^[b] though he is the owner of everything, ² but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. ³ In the same way we also, when we were children, ^(I)were enslaved to the elementary principles^[c] of the world. ⁴ But ^(J)when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, ^(K)born ^(L)of woman, born ^(M)under the law, ^5 (N)to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive ^(O)adoption as sons. ⁶ And because you are sons, God has sent ^(P)the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” ⁷ So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then ^(Q)an heir through God.
