Galatians 4:6-8
New King James Version
6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth (A)the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, [a]“Abba, Father!” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, (B)and if a son, then an heir [b]of God [c]through Christ.
Fears for the Church
8 But then, indeed, (C)when you did not know God, (D)you served those which by nature are not gods.

New International Version
6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son(A) into our hearts,(B) the Spirit who calls out, “Abba,[a] Father.”(C) 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.(D)
Paul’s Concern for the Galatians
