1 ) Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differs nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all,
-
2 ) But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
-
3 ) Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
-
4 ) But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
-
5 ) To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
-
6 ) And because all of you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
-
7 ) Wherefore you are no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
