4. but when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
5. to redeem those that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
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.
13. Ye know how through weakness of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.
14. And my affliction which was in my flesh ye did not despise, nor reject but ye received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
