Paul, an apostle not from men nor sent by any man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead??2 and all the brothers who are here with me, to the churches of Galatia;

blessing and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

I did not receive it from any man, and I was not taught it, but it came to me through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

to gratify the false brothers who had been smuggled in, who sneaked in to spy upon the freedom we enjoy in Christ Jesus, so as to reduce us to slavery again.

but who know that a man is not made upright by doing what the Law commands, but by faith in Christ Jesus??ven we believed in Christ Jesus, so as to be made upright by faith in Christ and not by doing what the Law commands??or by doing what the Law commands no one can be made upright.

You senseless Galatians! Who has bewitched you, when you had Jesus Christ shown crucified right before your eyes?

in order that the blessing given to Abraham might through Jesus Christ reach the heathen, so that through faith we might receive the promised Spirit.

But the Scripture describes all mankind as the prisoners of sin, so that the promised blessing might on the ground of faith in Jesus Christ be given to those who have faith.

For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through your faith.

There is no room for "Jew" and "Greek"; there is no room for "slave" and "freeman"; there is no room for "male" and "female"; for in union with Christ Jesus you are all one.

and yet what must have tried you in my physical condition, you did not scorn and despise, but you welcomed me like an angel of God, like Christ Jesus himself.

For in union with Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor the want of it counts for anything, but only faith acting through love.

Those who belong to Jesus the Christ have crucified the physical nature with its propensities and cravings.

These men who are trying to force you to let yourselves be circumcised want to present a good appearance externally, to save themselves from having to stand persecution for the cross of Jesus the Christ.

But I never want to boast of anything but the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, on which the world has been crucified to me and I have been to the world.

Let nobody interfere with me after this, for I bear on my body the scars that mark me as a slave of Jesus.

The blessing of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
