Fears for the Church

⁸But then, indeed, ^(A)when you did not know God, ^(B)you served those which by nature are not gods. ⁹But now ^(C)after you have known God, or rather are known by God, ^(D)how is it that you turn again to ^(E)the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? ¹⁰^(F)You observe days and months and seasons and years. ¹¹I am afraid for you, ^(G)lest I have labored for you in vain.

⁸αλλα τοτε μεν ουκ ειδοτες θεον εδουλευσατε τοις μη φυσει ουσιν θεοις

⁹νυν δε γνοντες θεον μαλλον δε γνωσθεντες υπο θεου πως επιστρεφετε παλιν επι τα ασθενη και πτωχα στοιχεια οις παλιν ανωθεν δουλευειν θελετε

¹⁰ημερας παρατηρεισθε και μηνας και καιρους και ενιαυτους

¹¹φοβουμαι υμας μηπως εικη κεκοπιακα εις υμας

Galatians 4:8-11

Young's Literal Translation

⁸But then, indeed, not having known God, ye were in servitude to those not by nature gods,

⁹and now, having known God -- and rather being known by God -- how turn ye again unto the weak and poor elements to which anew ye desire to be in servitude?

¹⁰days ye observe, and months, and times, and years!

¹¹I am afraid of you, lest in vain I did labour toward you.

New American Standard Bible

⁸However at that time, ^(A)when you did not know God, you were ^(B)slaves to ^(C)those which by nature are not gods. ⁹But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be ^(D)known by God, ^(E)how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless ^[a]^(F)elementary principles, to which you want to be enslaved all over again? ¹⁰You ^(G)meticulously observe days and months and seasons and years. ¹¹I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored ^[b]over you in vain.
