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)
