6 And because ye are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father;
7 therefore, thou art no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
8 However then, when ye did not know God, ye did service unto those who by nature are not gods.
9 But now, having known God, or rather being known of God, how do ye turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, in which ye desire again to be in slavery?
10 Ye observe days and months and times and years.
11 I am afraid for you, lest I have bestowed labour upon you in vain.
12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are; ye have not injured me at all.
