From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 5. To redeem them. By his death as an atoning sacrifice. See Barnes "Ga 3:13". Them that were under the law. Sinners, who had violated the law, and who were exposed to its dread penalty. That we might receive the adoption of sons. Be adopted as the sons or the children of God. See Barnes "Joh 1:12; Ro 8:15". __________________________________________________________________
