Galatians 4:9 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

But now being known of God — As his beloved children. How turn ye back to the weak and poor elements — Weak, utterly unable to purge your conscience from guilt, or to give that filial confidence in God. Poor — incapable of enriching the soul with such holiness and happiness as ye are heirs to. Ye desire to be again in bondage — Though of another kind; now to these elements, as before to those idols.

Galatians 4:9

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