Galatians 4:8-11

Galatians 4:8-11

[8] Howbeit  then,  when ye knew  not  God,  ye did service  unto them which by nature  no  gods.  [9] But  now,  after that ye have known  God,  or  rather  are known  of  God,  how  turn ye  again  to  the weak  and  beggarly  elements,  whereunto  ye desire  again  to be in bondage?  [10] Ye observe  days,  and  months,  and  times,  and  years.  [11] I am afraid  upon  labour  in vain.
