    3So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.

    4But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,

    5that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of children.

    6And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, "Abba, Father!"

    7So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

    8However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.

    9But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?

    10You observe days, months, seasons, and years.

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

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

    23However, the son by the handmaid was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.

    24These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.

    25For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.

    7It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn't discipline?

    9Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?

    10For they indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
