Compare all
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.

Galatians 4:5

Galatians 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law. Those under bondage need redemption in order to secure freedom. Paul has shown that those under the law were in bondage. From this bondage Christ came to redeem us. How the redemption was wrought is shown in Galatians 3:13. That we might receive the adoption of sons. This "adoption of sons" is bestowed as a gift. We cannot have it, and still be in bondage.
