Galatians 4:7-12

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? ^10 (H)You observe days and months and seasons and years! ¹¹ I am afraid ^(I)I may have labored over you in vain.

¹² Brothers,^{[a] (J)}I entreat you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. ^(K)You did me no wrong.
