For
you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as
were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are
all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed,
and heirs according to the promise.
In
the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary
principles of the world. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth
his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the
law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God
has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you
are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
Through faith in Christ alone are we justified
and grafted.
