Galatians 4:1-3

New Catholic Bible

Chapter 4

Set Free by Christ. ¹ What I am saying is that as long as an heir is a minor, he is no different from a slave, even though he is the owner of it all. ² He remains under the supervision of guardians and trustees until the date designated by the father. ³ This is also true of us. As long as we were children, we were enslaved to the forces of this world.
