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.

8 However at that time, (A)when you did not know God, you were (B)slaves to (C)those which by nature are not gods. 9 But 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? 10 You (G)meticulously observe days and months and seasons and years. 11 I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored [b]over you in vain.
