26For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,j 27for as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29And if you are Christ’s, then you are descendants of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.

No Longer Slaves But Sons and Heirs

4Now I say, for as long a time as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he* is master of everything, 2but he is under guardians and managers until the time set by his father. 3So also we, when we were children, we were enslaved under the elemental spirits of the world. 4But when the fullness of time came, God sent out his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5in order that he might redeem those under the law, in order that we might receive the adoption. 6And because you are sons, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba!a (Father!),” 7so that you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, also an heir through God.

Read in Logos
