Galatians 4:5-7
Wycliffe Bible
5 that he should again-buy them that were under the law, that we should receive the adoption of sons.
6 And for ye be God's sons, God sent his Spirit into your hearts [God sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts], crying, Abba, Father.
7 And so there is not now a servant, but a son; and if he is a son, he is an heir by God. [Therefore now there is not servant, but son; that if son, then and heir by God.]
