I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel,

For do I now seek to satisfy men or God? or do I seek to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ's bondman.

For through the Law I died to the Law and its demands on me [because salvation is provided through the death and resurrection of Christ], so that I might [from now on] live to God.

I have been crucified with Christ. So it is no longer I that live, but it is Christ who lives in me; and, as for my present earthly life, I am living it by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

I do not annul God's grace; but if righteousness comes by way of the Law, then indeed Christ's death was useless.

[This happened] so that the blessing [promised] to Abraham might be received by the Gentiles through [the person and work of] Christ, so that we might receive the promised [gift of the] Holy Spirit through [our] faith [in Jesus].

The law, then, was our guardian until Christ, so that we could be justified by faith.

And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Look, I Paul am telling you that, if you revert to [the practice of] circumcision [i.e., the Jewish rite of identity, signifying the responsibility to observe the law of Moses], then Christ's [sacrifice] will be of no value to you.

And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Always carry one another's burdens, and so obey the whole of Christ's Law.
