Before, when you did not know God, you served false gods. They were not gods at all, but you were their slaves. But now you do know God. Or really, I should say that God knows you. So, you must not turn back to serve those weak spirits that rule this world. Why do you want to obey their useless rules and become their slaves again?
Galatians 4:8-9
但從前你們不認識上帝的時候，是給那些本來不是神的作奴僕； 現在你們既然認識上帝，更可說是被上帝所認識的，怎麼還要歸回那懦弱無用的小學，情願再給他作奴僕呢？
加拉太書 4:8-9
