Galatians 4:6-8

New King James Version

⁶ And because you are sons, God has sent forth ^(A)the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, ^[a]“Abba, Father!” ⁷ Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, ^(B)and if a son, then an heir ^[b]of God ^[c]through Christ.

Fears for the Church

⁸ But then, indeed, ^(C)when you did not know God, ^(D)you served those which by nature are not gods.
