υἱός

huios

son, heir

Summary

υἱός ("son") in Galatians 3:26 carries legal force: in the ancient world, sons had full inheritance rights. By declaring all believers — including women — to be "sons of God," Paul grants every category of person full heir-status in the family of God. This is not a gendered statement about biology but a legal declaration of equal standing.
