Galatians 4:8-11

Christian Standard Bible

Paul’s Concern for the Galatians

⁸ But in the past, since you didn’t know God,^(A) you were enslaved to things^[a] that by nature are not gods. ⁹ But now, since you know God,^(B) or rather have become known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless^(C) elements?^(D) Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again? ¹⁰ You are observing special days, months, seasons, and years.^{(E) 11} I am fearful for you, that perhaps my labor for you has been wasted.
