But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

Verse 9 is found in chapter 4 of Galatians. Paul recalls the time when the Galatians served those who were not gods and contrasts that past with their present knowledge of God. Returning to calendars and observances as a religious foundation appears to him as a return to a form of slavery.

Nun ihr aber Gott erkannt habt, ja vielmehr von Gott erkannt seid, wie wendet ihr euch denn wiederum zu den schwachen und dürftigen Satzungen, welchen ihr von neuem an dienen wollt?
Mas ahora, habiendo conocido a Dios, o más bien, siendo conocidos de Dios, ¿cómo os volvéis de nuevo a los flacos y pobres rudimentos, en los cuales queréis volver a servir?
Ahora que conocen a Dios, o más bien que son conocidos por Dios, ¿cómo vuelven otra vez a los débiles y pobres elementos básicos, a los que quieren volver a servir como esclavos?
mais à présent que vous avez connu Dieu, ou plutôt que vous avez été connus de Dieu, comment retournez-vous à ces faibles et pauvres rudiments, auxquels de nouveau vous voulez vous asservir encore?
Ed ora, avendo conosciuto Iddio; anzi più tosto essendo stati conosciuti da Dio, come vi rivolgete di nuovo a’ deboli e poveri elementi, a’ quali, tornando addietro, volete di nuovo servire?
Mas agora, conhecendo a Deus, ou, antes, sendo conhecidos por Deus, como tornais outra vez a esses rudimentos fracos e pobres, aos quais de novo quereis servir?
現在你們既然認識上帝,更可說是被上帝所認識的,怎麼還要轉回那懦弱無用的粗淺學說 ,情願再給它們作奴隸呢?
