How turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.

I am afraid of you.

Am I, therefore, become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.

I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,

for I stand in doubt of you.

Galatians 4

Now, however, since you have come to know [the true] God [through personal experience], or rather to be known by God, how is it that you are turning back again to the weak and worthless elemental principles [of religions and philosophies], to which you want to be enslaved all over again?  [For example,] you observe [particular] days and months and seasons and years.  I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored [to the point of exhaustion] over you in vain.  They want to isolate you [from us who oppose them] so that you will seek them.  My little children, for whom I am again in [the pains of] labor until Christ is [completely and permanently] formed within you— how I wish that I were with you now and could change my tone, because I am perplexed in regard to you.  (Gal 4:9-20  AMP)
