No Longer Slaves: Sonship, Pastoral Anguish, and Children of Promise
Paul moves from the temporary minority of heirs under guardians, to redemption and adoption through God's sent Son, to the Spirit's cry of sonship, then to pastoral anguish over the Galatians' regression, and finally to the contrast between slavery and promise through Hagar and Sarah.
Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources
8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.
9 But now that you know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning back to those weak and worthless principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?
10 You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
11 I fear for you, that my efforts for you may have been in vain.
