Galatians 4:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ So you are no longer a slave, but a son. And if you are a son, then you are also an heir of God through Christ.^[a]

Paul’s Concern for the Gentiles

⁸ Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods. ⁹ But now that you know God, or rather are known by God, why are you turning back again to the basic principles that are weak and miserable? Do you want to be enslaved by them all over again?
