Galatians 4:8 in Context — Galatians 4

6 E, como sois filhos, Deus enviou aos vossos corações o Espírito do seu Filho, que clama: “Aba, Pai!”

7 Portanto, tu já não és mais servo, mas sim filho; e se és filho, também és herdeiro de Deus por meio de Cristo.

8 Quando, porém, não conhecíeis a Deus, vós servíeis aos que por natureza não são deuses.

9 Mas agora, que conheceis Deus, mais que isso, por Deus sois conhecidos, por que voltais outra vez aos fracos e miseráveis princípios elementares, aos quais quereis servir de novo?

10 Vós guardais dias, meses, tempos, e anos.
