Galatians 4:8-12 - Do Not Be Enslaved Again

8 But at that time when ye knew not God, ye served those who by nature are not gods. 9 But now after having known God, or rather being known of God, how turn ye back again to those weak and beggarly elements, to which again a second time ye desire to be in bondage? 10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 11 I am afraid for you, lest haply I have bestowed on you labour in vain.

12 Be as I am, for I also am as ye are, brethren??his is my request to you: ye have not injured me in the least.
