(that he might deliver us from the present evil world) according to the will of God and our Father,

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Christ who called you by his grace to another gospel, Which is not another;

but there are some that trouble you, and would subvert the gospel of Christ.

As we have said before, so I say now again, if any preach to you another gospel than that ye received, let him be accursed.

But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

For ye have heard of my behaviour in time past in the Jewish religion, that above measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it.

To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not confer with flesh and blood:

Neither did I go up to Jerusalem, to them that were apostles before me, but I immediately went into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

Only they had heard, He that persecuted in time past, now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised, Because of false brethren introduced unawares, who came in privily, to spy out our liberty which we have through Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

To whom we did not yield by submission, no, not an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.)

But on the contrary, when they saw that I was intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, as Peter with that of the circumcision:

(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, wrought likewise effectually in me toward the Gentiles:

) And when James, and Cephas, and John, who undoubtedly were pillars, knew the grace that was given to me, they gave the right-hands of fellowships to me and Barnabas, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision: Only they desired that we would be mindful of the poor,

And the other Jews also dissembled with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation.

But when I saw, that they walked not uprightly, according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, If thou being a Jew, livest after the manner of the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to judaize?

and not sinners of the Gentiles, Even we (knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ) have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law; because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

For I through the law am dead to the law, that I may live to God.

I am crucified with Christ, and I live no longer, but Christ liveth in me, and the life that I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

If it be yet in vain? Doth he that ministreth the Spirit to you, and worketh miracles among you, do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Know then, that they who are of faith, these are the sons of Abraham.

And the scripture foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, declared before the glad tidings to Abraham, In thee shall all the nations be blessed.

But that none is justified by the law in the sight of God, is evident; for the just shall live by faith.

Now the law is not of faith; but the man that doeth them, shall live by them.

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: (for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

) That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

Wherefore the law was our school-master unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem those under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

Indeed then, when ye knew not God, ye served them that by nature are not gods.

For I bear you witness, that, if possible, ye would have plucked out your eyes, and have given them to me.

They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.

Tell me, ye that would be under the law, do ye not hear the law?

For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem that now is, and is in bondage with her children.

But Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

(For it is written, Rejoice thou barren, that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not; for the desolate hath many more children than she that hath an husband.

But as then, he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, so it is now also.

For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, he is a debtor to do the whole law.

Ye did run well: who hath hindered you, that ye should not obey the truth?

This persuasion cometh not from him that called you.

I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be no otherwise minded; but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

Then is the offence of the cross ceased. I would they were even cut off that trouble you.

For the flesh desireth against the Spirit, but the Spirit desireth against the flesh (these are contrary to each other) that ye may not do the things which ye would.

emulations, wraths, strifes, divisions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of which I tell you before (as I have also told you in time past) that they who practise such things, shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

And they that are Christ's, have crucified the flesh with its affections and desires.

Let him that is taught in the word impart to him that teacheth in all good things.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that also shall he reap.

For he that soweth to the flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

For neither they who are circumcised keep the law; but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world is crucified to me, and I unto the world.
