Galatians 4:3

3So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces4:3 Or under the basic principles of the world.

3So we too, when we were children, were held in bondage under the 4:3 Or rudimentary teachingselementary principles of the world.

3So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world.

3So also we [whether Jews or Gentiles], when we were children (spiritually immature), were kept like slaves under the elementary [man-made religious or philosophical] teachings of the world.

3So also, when we were children, we were enslaved under the basic principles4:3 Or elemental forces; similarly in verse 9 of the world.

3It is the same with us. When we were children, we were slaves to the basic spiritual powers of the world.
