Galatians 4:9 in Context — Galatians 4
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.
11 Temo a vosso respeito de que talvez eu tenha trabalhado para convosco em vão.
