Galatians 4:8-11

New International Reader's Version NIRV

8 At one time you didn't know God. You were slaves to gods that are really not gods at all.

9 But now you know God. Even better, God knows you. So why are you turning back to those weak and worthless beliefs? Do you want to be slaves to them all over again?

10 You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!

11 I am afraid for you. I am afraid that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.

New International Version NIV

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—how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces ? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?

10 You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!

11 I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.
