Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave, although he is owner of everything,

Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;

but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father.

But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.

So we too, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elementary principles of the world.

Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons and daughters.

To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

Because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, "Abba! Father!"

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.

Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
