‏ Galatians 4:9

9 But now that you have come to know God (or rather to be known by God), how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless ^{▼▼tn Or “useless.” See L&N 65.16.} basic forces? ^{▼▼tn See the note on the phrase “basic forces” in 4:3.} Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again? ^{▼▼tn Grk “basic forces, to which you want to be enslaved…” Verse 9 is a single sentence in the Greek text, but has been divided into two in the translation because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence.}
