Galatians 4:8-12 - Do Not Be Enslaved Again
8 But, then, because you knew not God, you were enslaved to those who, by nature, are not gods: 9 now, however, after having known God, rather indeed having been known by God, how is it that you are turning back to the weak and beggarly rudiments, to which you desire again to be in bondage, as at first? 10 You observe days and months and times and years. - 11 fear for you, lest I have bestowed labor upon you in vain.
12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; because I was as you are. You have injured me in nothing.
