but there be some that disturb you, and would subvert the gospel of Christ.

But only they had heard that he who persecuted us before, now preacheth the faith which he formerly would have destroyed.

Only desiring that we would remember the poor: which I also was forward to do.

This only would I learn of you, Did ye receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

And the scripture foreseeing that God would justify the gentiles through faith, preached the gospel to Abraham long ago, saying, "In thee shall all nations be blessed."

Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? not at all: for if a law had been given, which could have confered life, certainly righteousness would have been by the law.

What then was your blessedness? for I bear you witness that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.

They are zealous for you, but not as they ought: for they would exclude us, that ye may be zealous for them:

for the flesh desireth things contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit things contrary to the flesh: and these are opposite to each other; so that ye do not those things which ye would.

They, who want to make a fair appearance in the flesh, would constrain you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

For they, who are circumcised, do not themselves keep the law: but they would have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
