Galatians 4:6-8

New International Version - UK

⁶ Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, ‘Abba,^[a] Father.’ ⁷ So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.

Paul’s concern for the Galatians

⁸ Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.
