Galatians 4:9 But now, after that you have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn you again to the weak and beggarly elements… Ordinances may be considered three ways. I. WITH CHRIST. 1. As types and figures of Christ to come. 2. As signs of grace of Divine institution. II. WITHOUT CHRIST. As mere customs whether before or after Him. III. AGAINST CHRIST. As meritorious causes of salvation. (W. Perkins.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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? |
