Galatians 4:7-9

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁷ So then, because of what God has done, you are no longer a slave but you are a son. And because you are a son, you will receive what he promised.

⁸ At first, you did not know God. At that time you obeyed things which are not real gods.

⁹ But now you know God. That is, God knows you. Then why do you turn to things that are weak and can do no good? Do you want to obey them again?
