1 Children who are under age are no better off than slaves, even though everything their parents own will someday be theirs.
2 This is because children are placed in the care of guardians and teachers until the time their parents have set.
3 This is how it was with us. We were like children ruled by the powers of this world.
4 But when the time was right, God sent his Son, and a woman gave birth to him. His Son obeyed the Law,
5 so he could set us free from the Law, and we could become God's children.
