Galatians 4:1

“But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all;”

Verse in context — Galatians 4

But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all;

but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.

So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.

Freedom in Christ, apart from the law, through faith.
