Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),

which gave himself for our sins, to deliver us from this present evil world, through the will of God our father,

to Him be [ascribed all] the glory through the ages of the ages. Amen.

I am astonished that you people are so quickly abandoning God [i.e., by rejecting His truth], who called you [to Himself] through the unearned favor bestowed [on us] by Christ. [You are turning] to a different "gospel,"

For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, even from my mother's womb, and called me through his grace,

So, they gave honor to God for [what He was doing through] me.

Then through fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.

Yet there was danger of this through the false brethren secretly introduced into the Church, who had stolen in to spy out the freedom which is ours in Christ Jesus, in order to rob us of it.

(for He who worked effectively for Peter and empowered him in his ministry to the Jews also worked effectively for me and empowered me in my ministry to the Gentiles).

We, though we are Jews by birth and not outcasts of Gentile origin, know that no one is pronounced righteous as the result of obedience to Law, but only through faith in Christ Jesus.

yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ [by faith], we ourselves are found to be sinners, does that make Christ an advocate or promoter of our sin? Certainly not!

God forbid. And if I build again the same things which I demolished, I shew myself a transgressor: for I through the law am dead to the law,

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

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me; and the life which I now live in the body I live through faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself up to death on my behalf.

I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought.

Give me an answer to this one question, Did the Spirit come to you through the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now going to reach perfection through what is external?

Did you go through so much to no purpose?--if indeed it really was to no purpose!

Which ministered to you the spirit, and worketh miracles among you: doth he it through the deeds of the law? Or by preaching of the faith?

And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

Now it is clear that no one is justified [that is, declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing] before God by the Law, for “The righteous (the just, the upright) shall live by faith.”

But the Law is not based on faith; no, its words are--'Those who practice these precepts will find Life through them.'

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

And this I say, the covenant which was before confirmed of God through Christ, the law which was four hundred and thirty years after, doth not disannul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

for if by law be the inheritance, it is no more by promise, but to Abraham through promise did God grant it.

What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise hath been made; and it was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.

So is the Law in conflict with the promises of God? Of course not! For if a law had been given that could give us life, then certainly righteousness would come through the Law.

But the Scripture has imprisoned everyone [everything—the entire world] under sin, so that [the inheritance, the blessing of salvation] which was promised through faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe [in Him and acknowledge Him as God’s precious Son].

with the result that the Law has become our tutor and our disciplinarian to guide us to Christ, so that we may be justified [that is, declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing with God] by faith.

For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus.

There is no room for Jew or Greek, no room for slave or freeman, no room for male or female, for you are all one through union with Christ Jesus.

to redeem them which were under the law: that we through election might receive the inheritance that belongeth unto the natural sons.

Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.

Can it be that I have become your enemy through speaking the truth to you?

Howbeit the'son by the handmaid is born after the flesh; but the'son by the freewoman is born through promise.

But as at that time he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born through the Spirit, so it is now.

You have been severed from Christ, if you seek to be justified [that is, declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing with God] through the Law; you have fallen from grace [for you have lost your grasp on God’s unmerited favor and blessing].

For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.

A little yeast grows through the whole lump.

I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

For ye, brethren, were called for freedom; only use not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another.

The person who sows through human means will harvest decay from human means, but the person who sows in the Spirit will harvest eternal life from the Spirit.

But far be it from me to glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world hath been crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
