PURCHASED AND ADOPTED

But when the proper time came,

God sent His Son, born of a woman,

born subject to the regulations of

the Law,

To purchase the freedom of ( to ransom,

redeem, atone for) those who were

subject to the Law, that we might be

adopted and have sonship conferred

upon us ( and be recognized as God’s

children).
And because you really are His sons,

God has sent the Holy Spirit of His Son

into our hearts, crying out, Abba (Father)!

Father!
