Galatians 3:26-29
26 It is through faith that all of you
are God's children in union with Christ Jesus.
27 You were baptized into union with Christ, and now you
are clothed, so to speak, with the life of Christ himself.
28 So there is no difference between Jews and Gentiles,
between slaves and free people, between men and women; you are all one in union
with Christ Jesus.
29 If
you belong to Christ, then you are the descendants of Abraham and will receive
what God has promised.
Galatians 4:1-7
1 But now to continue—the son who
will receive his father's property is treated just like a slave while he is
young, even though he really owns everything.
2 While he is young, there are men who take care of him and
manage his affairs until the time set by his father.
3 In the same way, we too were slaves of the ruling spirits
of the universe before we reached spiritual maturity.
4 But when the right time finally came, God sent his own
Son. He came as the son of a human mother and lived under the Jewish Law,
5 to
redeem those who were under the Law, so that we might become God's children.
6 To
show that you are his
children, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who cries
out, Father, my Father.
7 So then, you are no longer a slave but a child. And since you are his child, God
will give you all that he has for his children.
