"I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you."
— Galatians 4:11, World English Bible
“I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.”
“I am afraid of you, lest by any means I have bestowed labor upon you in vain. ”
“I fear for you that my work for you may have been in vain.”
“I am afraid of you, lest perhaps I have laboured in vain among you.”
“I am in fear of you, that I may have been working for you to no purpose.”
“I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.”
However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.
But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?
You observe days, months, seasons, and years.
I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.
I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong,
but you know that because of weakness of the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time.
That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn't despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
