I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from Him Who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different Gospel,

which is not another; only there are some who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the Gospel of Christ.

We who are by nature Jews, and not sinners from among the gentiles,

Are ye so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now being made perfect in the flesh?

Know, then, that those who are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham.

So that those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.

For as many as are of works of law are under a curse; for it has been written, "Cursed is every one who continues not in all the things written in the book of the law, to do them."

But the faith having come, we are no longer under a tutor;

for ye are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus;

There exists neither Jew nor Greek, there exists neither bond nor free, there exists neither male nor female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

And, if ye are Christ's, ye are, consequently, Abraham's seed, and heirs according to promise.

And, because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba," Father.

So that you are no longer a slave, but a son; and, if a son, also an heir through God.

But then, indeed, when ye knew not God, ye served those which by nature are no gods;

but, after having known God, or rather having been known by God, how are ye turning back again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which ye desire to be in bondage again?

Ye are scrupulously observing days, and months, and seasons, and years!

Brethren, I beseech you, become as I am; because I also was as ye are. Ye wronged me in nothing;

They are zealously seeking you, not nobly; they are wishing to shut you out, that ye may zealously seek them.

Tell me, ye who are wishing to be under law, do ye not hear the law?

Which things are an allegory; for these women are two covenants; one, indeed, from mount Sinai, bringing forth into servitude, which is Hagar

for it has been written, "Rejoice, O barren, that bear not! Break forth and cry, you that travail not! because many are the children of the desolate, rather than of her who has the husband."

But ye, brethren, after the manner of Isaac, are children of promise.

Wherefore, brethren, we are not children of a bond-woman, but of the free-woman.

Ye were separated from Christ, whoever of you are being justified by law; ye fell out of grace;

O that those who are unsettling you would even cut themselves off!

For the flesh covets against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary one to the other, that ye may not do the things which ye wish.

But, if ye are being led by the Spirit, ye are not under law.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

And those who are of Christ Jesus crucified the flesh with the passions and desires.

Brethren, even if a man be caught in any trespass, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness; considering yourself, lest you also be tempted.

For neither do those themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
