Galatians 4:5-7
Revised Geneva Translation
5 so that He might redeem those who were under the Law (that we might receive adoption as sons).
6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, who cries, “Abba, Father!”
7 Therefore, you are a servant no more, but a son. Now, if you are a son, you are also the heir of God, through Christ.
