Pastor Mark's Translation: Galatians 4:1-7

Week 9 Scripture: Galatians 4:1-7

 “¹ I tell you: as long as the heir is a minor he does not differ from a slave, even though he is the actual owner of the estate. ² However, an heir is subject to the guardians and managers until the time set by their fathers. ³ So also, when we were minors, we were enslaved under the elemental spiritual forces of the world. ⁴ But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, and born under the Law, ⁵ to redeem those under the Law in order that we might receive adoption. ⁶ And because you are sons and daughters, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts crying out, ‘Abba, Father.’ ⁷ Therefore, you are no longer slaves, but sons and daughters, and if sons and daughters, then also heirs through God.”
