I wonder that ye are so quickly removed from Him who did call you in the grace of Christ to another good news;

that is not another, except there be certain who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the Christ;

and was unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea, that are in Christ,

But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, 'If thou, being a Jew, in the manner of the nations dost live, and not in the manner of the Jews, how the nations dost thou compel to Judaize?

so thoughtless are ye! having begun in the Spirit, now in the flesh do ye end?

know ye, then, that those of faith -- these are sons of Abraham,

'Blessed in thee shall be all the nations;' so that those of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham,

for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed is every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law -- to do them,'

and the faith having come, no more under a child-conductor are we,

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

there is not here Jew or Greek, there is not here servant nor freeman, there is not here male and female, for all ye are one in Christ Jesus;

and if ye are of Christ then of Abraham ye are seed, and according to promise -- heirs.

and because ye are sons, God did send forth the spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, 'Abba, Father!'

they are zealous for you -- yet not well, but they wish to shut us out, that for them ye may be zealous;

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

which things are allegorized, for these are the two covenants: one, indeed, from mount Sinai, to servitude bringing forth, which is Hagar;

for it hath been written, 'Rejoice, O barren, who art not bearing; break forth and cry, thou who art not travailing, because many are the children of the desolate -- more than of her having the husband.'

And we, brethren, as Isaac, are children of promise,

then, brethren, we are not a maid-servant's children, but the free-woman's.

ye were freed from the Christ, ye who in law are declared righteous; from the grace ye fell away;

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

for the flesh doth desire contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed one to another, that the things that ye may will -- these ye may not do;

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

And manifest also are the works of the flesh, which are: Adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires;

Brethren, if a man also may be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself -- lest thou also may be tempted;

as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised -- only that for the cross of the Christ they may not be persecuted,
