Galatians 4:5

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

Verse in context — Galatians 4

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

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

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

And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, "Abba, Father!

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

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