3So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the principles of the world;


In Context

1 Now I say, As long as the heir is a child, he differs nothing from a bondman, though he be lord of all;

2 but he is under guardians and stewards until the period fixed by the father.

3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the principles of the world;

4 but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, come of woman, come under law,

5 that he might redeem those under law, that we might receive sonship.
