Galatians 4:1-3

Sons and Heirs

1 I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, ^{▼▼Greek bondservant; also verse 7} though he is the owner of everything, 2 but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. 3 In the same way we also, when we were children, ^bwere enslaved to the elementary principles ^{▼▼Or elemental spirits; also verse 9} of the world.
