Context
Sons of God Are Heirs of Promise
3:23 Now before faith came we were held in custody under the law , being kept as prisoners until the coming faith would be revealed .
3:24 Thus the law had become our guardian until Christ , so that we could be declared righteous by faith .
3:25 But now that faith has come , we are no longer under a guardian .
3:26 For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith .
3:27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ .
3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek , there is neither slave nor free , there is neither male nor female – for all of you are one in Christ Jesus .
3:29 And if you belong to Christ , then you are Abraham’s descendants , heirs according to the promise .
4:1 Now I mean that the heir , as long as he is a minor , is no different from a slave , though he is the owner of everything .
4:2 But he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father .
4:3 So also we , when we were minors , were enslaved under the basic forces of the world .
4:4 But when the appropriate time had come , God sent out his Son , born of a woman , born under the law ,
4:5 to redeem those who were under the law , so that we may be adopted as sons with full rights .
4:6 And because you are sons , God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts , who calls “Abba ! Father !”
4:7 So you are no longer a slave but a son , and if you are a son , then you are also an heir through God .
