Galatians 4:1-3

Worldwide English (New Testament)

4 Here is what I mean. When a man dies, his son is to receive his property. As long as the son is not grown up, he cannot have it. He has no more right than a servant, even though he really owns all the property.

² He still has people who take care of him and he must obey them until the time set by his father.

³ So it is with us. Before we were grown up, we were like servants. We were just beginning to learn about the things of this world.
