1. Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2. But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father:
3. So we also, when we were children, were serving under the elements of the world.
4. But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent his Son, made of a woman, made under the law:
5. That he might redeem them who were under the law: that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6. And because you are sons, God hath sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying: Abba, Father.
