← Galatians 4:6	Galatians 4:7 (KJV)	Galatians 4:8 →
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.	Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.	Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
