1 Korintus 8:3

8:3 But if someone loves God, he ¹  is known by God. ² 

Galatia 4:9

4:9 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 ³  basic forces? ⁴  Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again? ⁵ 

[8:3]  ¹ tn Grk “this one.”

[8:3]  ² tn Grk “him”; in the translation the most likely referent (God) has been specified for clarity.

[4:9]  ³ tn Or “useless.” See L&N 65.16.

[4:9]  ⁴ tn See the note on the phrase “basic forces” in 4:3.

[4:9]  ⁵ 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.
