Galatians 4:8-11
International Standard Version
8 However, in the past, when you did not know God, you were slaves to things that are not really gods at all.[a] 9 But now that you know God, or rather have been known by God, how can you turn back again to those powerless and bankrupt basic principles?[b] Why do you want to become their slaves all over again? 10 You are observing days, months, seasons, and years. 11 I am afraid for you! I don’t want my work for you to have[c] been wasted!
