Galatians 4:6-10
6BecauseG3754 you are sonsG5207, 1GodG2316 has sentG1821 the SpiritG4151 of His SonG5207 into our heartsG2588, cryingG2896 outG2896, “2AbbaG5! 3FatherG3962!” 7ThereforeG5620 you are noG3765 longerG3765 a slaveG1401, but a sonG5207; and 4ifG1487 a sonG5207, thenG2532 an heirG2818 5throughG1223 GodG2316.
8HoweverG235 at that timeG5119, 6when you did not knowG3609 GodG2316, you were 7slavesG1398 to 8thoseG3588 which by natureG5449 are not godsG2316. 9But nowG3568 that you have come to knowG1097 GodG2316, orG1161 ratherG3123 to be 9knownG1097 by GodG2316, 10howG4459 is it that you turnG1994 backG1994 againG3825 to the weakG772 and worthlessG4434 1112elementaryG4747 principlesG4747, to whichG3739 you wantG2309 to be enslavedG1398 allG509 overG509 againG3825? 10You 13meticulouslyG3906 observeG3906 daysG2250 and monthsG3376 and seasonsG2540 and yearsG1763.
