Galatians 4:8

Do Not Be Enslaved Again

⁷ So that thou art no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God. ⁸ Howbeit at that time, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to them that by nature are no gods: ⁹ but now that ye have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how turn ye back again to the weak and beggarly rudiments, whereunto ye desire to be in bondage over again?
