1Now I say, That the heir,
as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;  2But is under tutors and governors until the time
appointed of the father.  3Even so we,
when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:  4But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent
forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,  5To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the
adoption of sons.  6And because ye are
sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
 7Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a
son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. (Galatians
4:1-7, King James
Version)
