For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my countrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions.

But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, was pleased

I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea which were in Christ;

It was because of a revelation that I went up; and I submitted to them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but I did so in private to those who were of reputation, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.

But not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.

They only asked us to remember the poor—the very thing I also was eager to do.

The rest of the Jews joined him in hypocrisy, with the result that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.

You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?

Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?

Even so Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made.

Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law.

But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed.

but you know that it was because of a bodily illness that I preached the gospel to you the first time;

and that which was a trial to you in my bodily condition you did not despise or loathe, but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus Himself.

But the son by the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise.

But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also.

It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
