Galatians 4:8-11
Legacy Standard Bible
8 However at that time, (A)when you did not know God, you were (B)slaves to (C)those which by nature are no gods. 9 But now, having known God, or rather having been (D)known by God, (E)how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless [a](F)elemental things, to which you want to be enslaved all over again? 10 You (G)observe days and months and seasons and years. 11 I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored [b]over you for nothing.

Paul’s concern for the Galatians
8 At the time, when you didn’t know God, you were enslaved by things that aren’t gods by nature. 9 But now, after knowing God (or rather, being known by God), how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless world system? Do you want to be slaves to it again? 10 You observe religious days and months and seasons and years. 11 I’m afraid for you! Perhaps my hard work for you has been for nothing.
