Now [this was] because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, in order that they might enslave us,

I want only to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Now I am saying this: the law, that came after four hundred and thirty years, does not revoke a covenant previously ratified by God, in order to nullify the promise.

This persuasion [is] not from the one who calls you!

Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked, for whatever a person sows, this he will also reap,

And all those who follow this rule, peace and mercy [be] on them and on the Israel of God.
