Galatians 4:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ This is also true of us. As long as we were children, we were enslaved to the forces of this world.

⁴ However, when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, ⁵ in order to redeem those who were under the Law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
