but now that ye have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how turn ye back again to the weak and beggarly rudiments, whereunto ye desire to be in bondage over again?

But now that you have come to have knowledge of God, or more truly, God has knowledge of you, how is it that you go back again to the poor and feeble first things, desiring to be servants to them again?

τωρα δε αφου εγνωρισατε τον Θεον, μαλλον δε εγνωρισθητε υπο του Θεου, πως επιστρεφετε παλιν εις τα ασθενη και πτωχα στοιχεια, εις τα οποια παλιν ως προτερον θελετε να δουλευητε;

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?
