The New International Version

Galatians 4:4–7

But when the set time had fully come,y God sent his Son,z born of a woman,a born under the law,b to redeemc those under the law, that we might receive adoptiond to sonship.b e Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Sonf into our hearts,g the Spirit who calls out, “Abba,c Father.”h So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.i
