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 Before you Gentiles knew God, you were slaves to so-called gods that do not even exist. 9 So now that you know God (or should I say, now that God knows you), why do you want to go back again and become slaves once more to the weak and useless spiritual principles of this world? 10 You are trying to earn favor with God by observing certain days or months or seasons or years. 11 I fear for you. Perhaps all my hard work with you was for nothing.
