Galatians 4:7-10
7So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then aan heir through God.Paul’s Concern for the Galatians
8Formerly, when you bdid not know God, you cwere enslaved to those that by nature dare not gods. 9But now that you have come to know God, or rather eto be known by God, fhow can you turn back again to gthe weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more? 10 hYou observe days and months and seasons and years!Galatians 5:4-8
4You are isevered from Christ, jyou who would be justified ▼▼Or counted righteous
by the law; lyou have fallen away from grace. 5For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly mwait for the hope of righteousness. 6For in Christ Jesus nneither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but oonly faith working through love. 7 pYou were running well. Who hindered you from obeying qthe truth? 8This persuasion is not from rhim who calls you.

the world xhas been crucified to me, and I to the world. Hebrews 7:16-19
16who has become a priest, not on the basis of a legal requirement concerning bodily descent, but by the power of an indestructible life. 17For it is witnessed of him,y“You are a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek.”
18For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside zbecause of its weakness and uselessness 19(for aathe law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, aba better hope is introduced, through which acwe draw near to God.
