The Placement of Sonship

Under Law Until the Time Appointed by the Father, Galatians 4:1, 2

Held in bondage to the elementary things of the world system, Galatians 4:3

God Sent His Son to Redeem those under Law, Galatians 4:4-7

Galatians 4:1-7

^4.1 But I say upon as much time as the heir is an inarticulate babbler, he differs nothing from a slave, being lord of all, ^4.2 but is under guardians and tutors, up until the time limit set by the father. ^4.3 Thus we also, when we were inarticulate babblers, we being slaves were under the elementary principles of the world system. ^4.4 But when the fullness of time came, God sent forth His Son, being born out from a woman, born under law, ^4.5 in order that he should redeem the ones under the law, in order that we should receive the placement of sons. ^4.6 And because we are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying “Abba, the Father”. ^4.7 Therefore we are no longer slaves but sons, and since sons, also we are heirs of God through Christ.
