5 God sent him to pay for the freedom of those who were controlled by these laws so that we would be adopted as his children. 6 Because you are God’s children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into us to call out, “Abba![a] Father!” 7 So you are no longer slaves but God’s children. Since you are God’s children, God has also made you heirs.
