Galatians 4:8-12 - Do Not Be Enslaved Again
8 When you did not know God, you did service to those, who in reality are no Gods; but now that you know God, 9 or rather that you are favoured by him, how can ye turn again to the weak and beggarly elements of the law, to which you desire again to be in bondage? 10 observing as you do, the days, the moons, the feasts and years. 11 you make me apprehensive, that the labour I have bestowed upon you will be all in vain.
12 I beseech you, brethren, be as I am, for I was as you are.
