who did give himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of God even our Father,

I wonder that ye are so quickly removed from Him who did call you in the grace of Christ to another good news;

that is not another, except there be certain who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the Christ;

And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that were proclaimed by me, that it is not according to man,

for ye did hear of my behaviour once in Judaism, that exceedingly I was persecuting the assembly of God, and wasting it,

to reveal His Son in me, that I might proclaim him good news among the nations, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,

And the things that I write to you, lo, before God -- I lie not;

and was unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea, that are in Christ,

and only they were hearing, that 'he who is persecuting us then, doth now proclaim good news -- the faith that then he was wasting;'

and I went up by revelation, and did submit to them the good news that I preach among the nations, and privately to those esteemed, lest in vain I might run or did run;

and that because of the false brethren brought in unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under bondage,

to whom not even for an hour we gave place by subjection, that the truth of the good news might remain to you.

but, on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the good news of the uncircumcision, as Peter with that of the circumcision,

and having known the grace that was given to me, James, and Cephas, and John, who were esteemed to be pillars, a right hand of fellowship they did give to me, and to Barnabas, that we to the nations, and they to the circumcision may go,

only, of the poor that we should be mindful, which also I was diligent -- this very thing -- to do.

and dissemble with him also did the other Jews, so that also Barnabas was carried away by their dissimulation.

But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, 'If thou, being a Jew, in the manner of the nations dost live, and not in the manner of the Jews, how the nations dost thou compel to Judaize?

having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.'

for I through law, did die, that to God I may live;

with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh -- in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

know ye, then, that those of faith -- these are sons of Abraham,

and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news to Abraham --

'Blessed in thee shall be all the nations;' so that those of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham,

for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed is every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law -- to do them,'

and that in law no one is declared righteous with God, is evident, because 'The righteous by faith shall live;'

that to the nations the blessing of Abraham may come in Christ Jesus, that the promise of the Spirit we may receive through the faith.

and this I say, A covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not set aside, to make void the promise,

the law, then, is against the promises of God? -- let it not be! for if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly by law there would have been the righteousness,

but the Writing did shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those believing.

so that the law became our child-conductor -- to Christ, that by faith we may be declared righteous,

that those under law he may redeem, that the adoption of sons we may receive;

so that thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.

and ye have known that through infirmity of the flesh I did proclaim good news to you at the first,

and my trial that is in my flesh ye did not despise nor reject, but as a messenger of God ye did receive me -- as Christ Jesus;

what then was your happiness? for I testify to you, that if possible, your eyes having plucked out, ye would have given to me;

so that your enemy have I become, being true to you?

they are zealous for you -- yet not well, but they wish to shut us out, that for them ye may be zealous;

for it hath been written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the maid-servant, and one by the free-woman,

for this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and doth correspond to the Jerusalem that now is, and is in servitude with her children,

lo, I Paul do say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing;

and I testify again to every man circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law;

I have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

O that even they would cut themselves off who are unsettling you!

and if one another ye do bite and devour, see -- that ye may not by one another be consumed.

for the flesh doth desire contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed one to another, that the things that ye may will -- these ye may not do;

envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revellings, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things the reign of God shall not inherit.

Be not led astray; God is not mocked; for what a man may sow -- that also he shall reap,

as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised -- only that for the cross of the Christ they may not be persecuted,

for neither do those circumcised themselves keep the law, but they wish you to be circumcised, that in your flesh they may glory.
