Galatians 4

World English Bible (WEB)

4 Ref But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,

5 Ref that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of children.

6 Ref And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, "Abba,{Abba is a Greek spelling for the Chaldee word for "Father" or "Daddy" used in a familiar, respectful, and loving way.} Father!"

7 Ref So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

8 Ref However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.
