American King James Version
"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? "
— Galatians 4:9, American King James Version
“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?”
“but now that ye have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how turn ye back again to the weak and beggarly rudiments, whereunto ye desire to be in bondage over again? ”
“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?”
“But now that you have come to know God(or rather to be known by God), how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless basic forces? Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again?”
“But now, after that you have known God, or rather are known by God: how turn you again to the weak and needy elements which you desire to serve again?”
“But now that you have come to have knowledge of God, or more truly, God has knowledge of you, how is it that you go back again to the poor and feeble first things, desiring to be servants to them again?”
“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?”
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.
Brothers, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as you are: you have not injured me at all.
