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