²⁴ Not that we ^(A)domineer over your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are ^(B)standing firm.

⁴ Yet it was a concern because of the ^(A)false brothers secretly brought in, who ^(B)had sneaked in to spy on our ^(C)freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to ^(D)enslave us.

³ So we too, when we were children, were held ^(A)in bondage under the ^[a](B)elementary principles of the world.

⁹ But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be ^(A)known by God, ^(B)how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless ^[a](C)elementary principles, to which you want to be enslaved all over again?

Follow the Spirit

5 ^(A)It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore ^(B)keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a ^(C)yoke of slavery.
