Galatians 4:1-5

New American Standard Bible 1995

Sonship in Christ

4 Now I say, as long as the heir is a ^[a]child, he does not differ at all from a slave although he is ^[b]owner of everything, ² but he is under guardians and ^[c]managers until the date set by the father. ³ So also we, while we were children, were held ^(A)in bondage under the ^[d](B)elemental things of the world. ⁴ But when ^(C)the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, ^(D)born of a woman, born ^(E)under ^[e]the Law, ⁵ so that He might redeem those who were under ^[f]the Law, that we might receive the adoption as ^(F)sons.
