Galatians 4:1-5 ▼

1 Now I mean that the heir, as long as he is a minor, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything.

2 But he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father.

3 So also we, when we were minors, were enslaved under the basic forces of the world.

4 But when the appropriate time had come, God sent out his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we may be adopted as sons with full rights.
