8But then, indeed, not having known God, ye were in servitude to those not by nature gods,
8But then, indeed, not having known God, ye were in servitude to those not by nature gods,
5 that those under law he may redeem, that the adoption of sons we may receive;
6 and because ye are sons, God did send forth the spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, 'Abba, Father!'
7 so that thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.
8 But then, indeed, not having known God, ye were in servitude to those not by nature gods,
9 and now, having known God — and rather being known by God — how turn ye again unto the weak and poor elements to which anew ye desire to be in servitude?
10 days ye observe, and months, and times, and years!
4:8Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
4:8Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.
4:8But then indeed, not knowing God, you served them, who, by nature, are not gods.
4:8Howbeit at that time, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to them that by nature are no gods:
4:8But then indeed, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods;
4:8Howbeit at that time, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to them which by nature are no gods:
4:8However then, when ye knew not God, ye did service to them which by nature are no gods.
4:8However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.
4:8However, then, when you knew not God, you did service to them which by nature are no gods.
