1. Here is what I have been saying. As long as your own children are young, they are no different from slaves in your house. They are no different, even though they own all of the property.
2. They are under the care of guardians and those who manage the property. They are under their care until the time when their fathers give them the property.
3. It is the same with us. When we were children, we were slaves to the basic things the people of the world believe.
4. But then the right time came. God sent his Son. A woman gave birth to him. He was born under the authority of the law.
