NASB
"So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world."
— Galatians 4:3, NASB
“Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:”
“So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the rudiments of the world: ”
“So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.”
“So also we, when we were minors, were enslaved under the basic forces of the world.”
“So we also, when we were children, were serving under the elements of the world.”
“So we, when we were young, were kept under the first rules of the world;”
“Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:”
Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave although he is owner of everything,
but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father.
So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world.
But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,
so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"
