1. And I say, for as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, though he is master of all,
2. but is under guardians and trustees till the time prearranged by the father.
3. So we also, when we were children, were under the elementary matters of the world, being enslaved.
4. But when the completion of the time came, Elohim sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under Torah,
5. to redeem those who were under Torah, in order to receive the adoption as sons.
6. And because you are sons, Elohim has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”
7. So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, also an heir of Elohim through Messiah.
