Galatians 4:1-7
New Matthew Bible
Paul shows that through Christ we are delivered from the law, and he rebukes the unthankfulness of the Galatians.
4 And I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ from a servant, though he be lord of all, 2 but is under tutors and managers until the time appointed by the father. 3 Likewise we, as long as we were children, were in bondage under the ordinances of the world. 4 But when the time was full come, God sent his Son, born of a woman and made bond to the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, in order that we through election could receive the inheritance that belongs to the natural sons. 6 Because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, who cries, Abba, Father! 7 Therefore now you are not a servant, but a son. If you are a son, you are also the heir of God through Christ.
