Galatians 4:7 Context
5To redeeme them that were vnder the Law, that we might receiue the adoption of sonnes. 6And because yee are sonnes, God hath sent foorth the spirit of his Sonne into your hearts, crying Abba, Father. 7Wherefore thou art no more a seruant, but a sonne; and if a sonne, then an heire of God through Christ. 8Howbeit, then when ye knew not God, yee did seruice vnto them which by nature are no Gods. 9But now after that yee haue knowen God, or rather are knowen of God, how turne ye againe to the weak and beggerly Elements, whereunto ye desire againe to be in bondage?
