Galatians 4:1–10

Now I say, That athe heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 But is under btutors and cgovernors until the time appointed of the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, dwere in bondage under ethe ||elements of the world: 4 But fwhen the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, gmade hof a woman, gmade iunder the law, 5 kTo redeem them that were under the law, that lwe might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth mthe Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, nAbba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and oif a son, then an heir of God through Christ. 8 Howbeit then, pwhen ye knew not God, qye did service unto them which rby nature are no gods. 9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather sare known of God, thow turn ye ||again to the uweak and beggarly ||elements, whereunto ye desire again dto be in bondage? 10 Ye observe wdays, and xymonths, and ytimes, and zyears.
