7 Therefore you are no longer a servant, but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
8 Previously, when you did not know God, you served those who by nature are not gods.
9 But now, after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how do you turn again to the weak and beggarly elemental forces to which you desire again to be in bondage?
10 You observe days and months and seasons and years.
11 I am afraid for you, lest I have worked for you in vain.
12 Brothers, I ask you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong.
13 You know that it was because of an infirmity of the flesh that I first preached the gospel to you.
