# Connecting Statement:
Paul reminds the Galatian believers that they are again trying to live under God's laws rather than living by faith.
# General Information:
He continues to rebuke the Galatians by asking rhetorical questions.
# those who are
"those things that are" or "those spirits who are"
# you are known by God
This can be stated in active form. AT: "God knows you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
# how is it that you are turning back to ... principles?
Here "turning back to" is a metaphor for starting to pay attention to something again. This is the first of two rhetorical questions. AT: "you should not start paying attention to ... principles." or "you should not be concerned with ... principles." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
# elemental principles
See how you translated this phrase in [Galatians 4:3](./03.md).
# Do you want to be enslaved all over again?
Paul uses this question to rebuke the people for behaving in a way that would make them like slaves. AT: "It seems that you want to be slaves again." or "You behave as though you wanted to be like slaves again."(See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
# Do you want to be enslaved all over again?
Here being "enslaved" is a metaphor for being obligated to obey certain rules or customs. AT: "Do you want to have to obey rules again like a slave has to obey his master?" or "It seems that you want to be controlled all over again!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
