Galatians 4:3

3 So also we, when we were minors, ^{▼▼ See the note on the word “minor” in 4:1.} were enslaved under the basic forces ^{▼▼ Or “basic principles,” “elemental things,” or “elemental spirits.” Some interpreters take this as a reference to supernatural powers who controlled nature and/or human fate.} of the world.
