    3So also we, when we were minors, were enslaved under the basic forces of the world.

    4But when the appropriate time had come, God sent out his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

    5to redeem those who were under the law, so that we may be adopted as sons with full rights.

    6And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, who calls“Abba! Father!”

    7So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if you are a son, then you are also an heir through God.

    8Heirs of Promise Are Not to Return to Law Formerly when you did not know God, you were enslaved to beings that by nature are not gods at all.

    9But now that you have come to know God(or rather to be known by God), how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless basic forces? Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again?

    10You are observing religious days and months and seasons and years.

    23Sons of God Are Heirs of Promise Now before faith came we were held in custody under the law, being kept as prisoners until the coming faith would be revealed.

    24Thus the law had become our guardian until Christ, so that we could be declared righteous by faith.

    25But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.

    26For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith.

    21An Appeal from Allegory Tell me, you who want to be under the law, do you not understand the law?

    22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.

    23But one, the son by the slave woman, was born by natural descent, while the other, the son by the free woman, was born through the promise.

    24These things may be treated as an allegory, for these women represent two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai bearing children for slavery; this is Hagar.

    25Now Hagar represents Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.

    7Endure your suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline?

    8But if you do not experience discipline, something all sons have shared in, then you are illegitimate and are not sons.

    9Besides, we have experienced discipline from our earthly fathers and we respected them; shall we not submit ourselves all the more to the Father of spirits and receive life?

    10For they disciplined us for a little while as seemed good to them, but he does so for our benefit, that we may share his holiness.
