Galatians 4:8
Compare all
6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth athe Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out,1 “Abba, Father!”  
7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, aand if a son, then an heir of God2 through Christ.  

Fears for the Church

8 But then, indeed, awhen you did not know God, byou served those which by nature are not gods.  
9 But now aafter you have known God, or rather are known by God, bhow is it that you turn again to cthe weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?  
10 aYou observe days and months and seasons and years.  
11 I am afraid for you, alest I have labored for you in vain.  
12 Brethren, I urge you to become like me, for I became like you. aYou have not injured me at all.  
13 You know that abecause of physical infirmity I preached the gospel to you at the first.

Galatians 4:8

Indeed then when ye knew not God, ye served them that by nature - That is, in reality. Are no gods - And so were under a far worse bondage than even that of the Jews. For they did serve the true God, though in a low, slavish manner.
