Galatians 4:6-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son(A) into our[a] hearts, crying, “Abba,(B) Father!”(C) 7 So you are no longer a slave(D) but a son,(E) and if a son, then an heir(F) through God.
Paul’s Concern for the Galatians
8 But in the past, when you didn’t know God,(G) you were enslaved to things[b] that by nature are not gods.
