Galatians 4:6-8
International Standard Version
6 Now because you are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our[a] hearts to cry out, “Abba![b] Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if you are a child, then you are also an heir because of what God did.
8 However, in the past, when you did not know God, you were slaves to things that are not really gods at all.[c]
