Galatians 3:26–4:7

²⁶For you are all ^asons of God through faith in ^bChrist Jesus.

²⁷For all of you who were ^abaptized into Christ have ^bclothed yourselves with Christ.

^28aThere is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is no ^bmale and female, for ^cyou are all one in ^dChrist Jesus.

²⁹And if ^ayou ¹belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s ²seed, heirs according to ^bpromise.

CHAPTER 4

Sonship in Christ

¹Now I say, as long as the heir is a ¹child, he does not differ at all from a slave although he is ²owner of everything,

²but he is under guardians and stewards until the date set by the father.

³So also we, while we were children, were ^aenslaved under the ^1belemental things of the world.

⁴But when ^athe fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, ^bborn of a woman, born ^cunder ¹the Law,

⁵so that He might redeem those who were under ¹the Law, that we might receive the adoption as ^asons.

⁶And because you are sons, ^aGod sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “^bAbba! Father!”

⁷Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and ^aif a son, then an heir ¹through God.
