GALATIANS 4:1-11
Galatians:4.1
Now I say [that] the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all,
Galatians:4.2
but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father.
Galatians:4.3
Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world.
Galatians:4.4
But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
Galatians:4.5
to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
Galatians:4.6
And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!"
Galatians:4.7
Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Galatians:4.8
But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not gods.
Galatians:4.9
But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how [is it that] you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?
Galatians:4.10
You observe days and months and seasons and years.
Galatians:4.11
I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain.
