8–11. Appeal; after so great a change how can you go back!

(Gal 4:8) But—before your conversion, when you knew not God, ye were slaves to them which by origin are not gods; (Gal 4:9) and now when you have come to know God, or rather were known by God!—how are ye turning again to the powerless and poverty-stricken rudiments, to which ye are wishing to become slaves again from the very beginning of the alphabet? (Gal 4:10) Ye are scrupulously marking days, and new moons, and the exact times of feasts, and years! (Gal 4:11) (Transition.) You cause me dread lest I have laboured for you for nothing.
