Galatians 4:7-9

English Standard Version

⁷ So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then ^(A)an heir through God.

Paul's Concern for the Galatians

⁸ Formerly, when you ^(B)did not know God, you ^(C)were enslaved to those that by nature ^(D)are not gods. ⁹ But now that you have come to know God, or rather ^(E)to be known by God, ^(F)how can you turn back again to ^(G)the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?
