Galatians 3:25-4:7

Christian Standard Bible

²⁵ But since that faith^(A) has come, we are no longer under a guardian, ²⁶ for through faith you are all sons of God in Christ Jesus.

Sons and Heirs

²⁷ For those of you who were baptized into Christ have been clothed with Christ.^{(B) 28} There is no Jew or Greek, slave or free,^(C) male and female;^(D) since you are all one^(E) in Christ Jesus. ²⁹ And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, heirs^(F) according to the promise.^(G)

4 Now I say that as long as the heir^(H) is a child, he differs in no way from a slave, though he is the owner^(I) of everything. ² Instead, he is under guardians and trustees until the time set by his father. ³ In the same way we also, when we were children, were in slavery under the elements^[a] of the world.^{(J) 4} When the time came to completion, God sent his Son,^(K) born of a woman,^(L) born under the law, ⁵ to redeem those under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.^{(M) 6} And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son^(N) into our^[b] hearts, crying, “Abba,^[c] Father!” ^{(O) 7} So you are no longer a slave^(P) but a son,^(Q) and if a son, then God has made you an heir.^(R)
