1What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he is the owner of everything.
2He is subject to guardians and trustees until the date set by his father.
3So also, when we were children, we were enslaved under the basic principles of the world.
4But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
5to redeem those under the law, that we might receive our adoption as sons.
— Galatians 4:1-5
