6. Therefore, because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying out: "Abba, Father."
7. And so now he is not a servant, but a son. But if he is a son, then he is also an heir, through God.
8. But then, certainly, while ignorant of God, you served those who, by nature, are not gods.
9. But now, since you have known God, or rather, since you have been known by God: how can you turn away again, to weak and destitute influences, which you desire to serve anew?
10. You serve the days, and months, and times, and years.
11. I am afraid for you, lest perhaps I may have labored in vain among you.
12. Brothers, I beg you. Be as I am. For I, too, am like you. You have not injured me at all.
13. But you know that, in the weakness of the flesh, I have preached the Gospel to you for a long time, and that your trials are in my flesh.
14. You did not despise or reject me. But instead, you accepted me like an Angel of God, even like Christ Jesus.
15. Therefore, where is your happiness? For I offer to you testimony that, if it could be done, you would have plucked out your own eyes and would have given them to me.
