Galatians 4:9-15 But now that you have come to know God, or rather, to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to those weak and beggarly principles, to which you again desire to be in bondage?

RKJNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ But now that you have come to know God, or rather, to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to those weak and beggarly principles, to which you again desire to be in bondage? ¹⁰ You observe days, and months, and seasons, and years. ¹¹ I am afraid for you, lest I have bestowed labour upon you in vain. ¹² Brethren, I urge you, be as I am; for I became as you are: you have not injured me at all. ¹³ You know it was because of infirmity of the flesh that I first preached the gospel to you. ¹⁴ And though my fleshly condition was a trial for you, you did not despise or reject me; but received me as an angel from God, as Christ Jesus himself. ¹⁵ Where then is the blessed joy you had? for I bear you witness, that, if possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
