2 Instead, he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father.
3 So also, when we were underage, we were subservient to the basic principles of the world.
4 But when the fullness of time came, God sent out His Son, born of a woman and born under law—
5 to free those under law, so we might receive adoption as sons.
6 Now because you are sons, God sent the Ruach of His Son into our hearts, who cries out, “Abba! Father!”
7 So you are no longer a slave but a son—and if a son, also an heir through God.
8 But at that time, when you did not know God, you served those who by nature are not gods at all.
