^5 (A)having predestined us to ^(B)adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, ^(C)according to the good pleasure of His will,

⁴ But ^(A)when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, ^(B)born^{[a] (C)}of a woman, ^(D)born under the law,

^5 (A)to redeem those who were under the law, ^(B)that we might receive the adoption as sons.

¹² But ^(A)as many as received Him, to them He gave the ^[a]right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

¹⁷ and if children, then ^(A)heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, ^(B)if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

¹² He who overcomes, I will make him ^(A)a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall ^(B)go out no more. ^(C)I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the ^(D)New Jerusalem, which ^(E)comes down out of heaven from My God. ^(F)And I will write on him My new name.

¹⁵ For ^(A)you did not receive the spirit of bondage again ^(B)to fear, but you received the ^(C)Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, ^(D)“Abba,^[a] Father.”

⁶ And because you are sons, God has sent forth ^(A)the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, ^[a]“Abba, Father!”
