3 So it is with us. Before we were grown up, we were like servants. We were just beginning to learn about the things of this world.
4 But when the right time came, God sent his Son to make us free. He was born by a woman during the time when men had to obey the law.
5 God sent him to set the people free who were under the law. God sent him so that we would receive our rights as sons of God.
