Verse 3
Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
So we — The church of God.
When we were children — In our minority, under the legal dispensation.
Were in bondage — In a kind of servile state.
Under the elements of the world — Under the typical observances of the law, which were like the first elements of grammar, the A B C of children; and were of so gross a nature, as hardly to carry our thoughts beyond this world.
