3 Even so we, when we were children, awere in bondage under the elements of the world.
4 But awhen the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, bborn cof a woman, dborn under the law,
5 ato redeem those who were under the law, bthat we might receive the adoption as sons.
6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth athe Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out,1 “Abba, Father!”
7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, aand if a son, then an heir of God2 through Christ.
Fears for the Church
8 But then, indeed, awhen you did not know God, byou served those which by nature are not gods.
