Galatians 4:8

Do Not Be Enslaved Again

⁷ so that thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ. ⁸ But then, indeed, not having known God, ye were in servitude to those not by nature gods, ⁹ and 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?
