American King James Version
" However, then, when you knew not God, you did service to them which by nature are no gods. "
— Galatians 4:8, American King James Version
“Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.”
“Howbeit at that time, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to them that by nature are no gods: ”
“However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.”
“Heirs of Promise Are Not to Return to Law Formerly when you did not know God, you were enslaved to beings that by nature are not gods at all.”
“But then indeed, not knowing God, you served them who, by nature, are not gods.”
“But at that time, having no knowledge of God, you were servants to those who by right are no gods:”
“Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.”
To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Why you are no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
However, then, when you knew not God, you did service to them which by nature are no gods.
But now, after that you have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn you again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?
You observe days, and months, and times, and years.
I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed on you labor in vain.
