Galatians 4:1-3
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
God Sent His Son To Redeem Us So We All Could Be Adopted As Sons And Heirs
4 Now I say— for as much time as the heir is a child[a], he is no different from a slave. Being the [future] owner of all, 2 nevertheless[b] he is under guardians and stewards[c] until the pre-appointed day of the father. 3 In this manner also we, when we were children, were[d] enslaved under the elemental[e] things of the world.
