Galatians 4:1-7

Christian Standard Bible

4 Now I say that as long as the heir^(A) is a child, he differs in no way from a slave, though he is the owner^(B) 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.^{(C) 4} When the time came to completion, God sent his Son,^(D) born of a woman,^(E) born under the law, ⁵ to redeem those under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.^{(F) 6} And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son^(G) into our^[b] hearts, crying, “Abba,^[c] Father!” ^{(H) 7} So you are no longer a slave^(I) but a son,^(J) and if a son, then God has made you an heir.^(K)
