Verse 7.
These words, are the conclusion of the former doctrine of Paul. The time of our liberty is come, in that your liberty is procured and purchased by Christ, and ye have received the ⟨p. 301⟩spirit of sons crying Abba: therefore ye are not servants to the law, but sons of God. And from this conclusion Paul derives a second, which is the sum and substance of the whole disputation, from the beginning of the third chapter, to this place; namely, that they which are sons, are also heirs, §5not by the law, and the works thereof, but by Christ.
