Confidence

I begin to be afraid that perhaps the labor I spent on you was wasted.

It was because I was sure of this that I wanted to come to see you before going anywhere else, to give you a double pleasure;

This is what I said in my letter, so that I might avoid coming and having my feelings hurt by the very people who might have been expected to make me happy, for I felt sure about you all, that what made me happy would make you all happy.

I am glad that I can feel perfect confidence in you.

I send with them another brother of ours whose devotion we have often tested in many ways, which is now greater than ever, because of his perfect confidence in you.

We have faith in you through the Lord that you are doing and will keep doing what we direct you to do.

I write you in full reliance upon your obedience; I know that you will do even more than I ask.

But

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.

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

These men are making much of you, but not with honorable intentions. They want to shut you out, so that you will have to make much of them.

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.

Some people came down from Judea and began to teach the brothers that unless they were circumcised as Moses prescribed, they could not be saved.

Children, it is the last hour. You have heard that Antichrist is coming, and many Antichrists have indeed appeared. So we may be sure that it is the last hour.

Bear

I wish the people who are upsetting you would go on, and have themselves emasculated!

I have handed the man over to Satan, for his physical destruction, in order that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.

For that individual, this censure by the majority of you is punishment enough,

I beg you not to make me take as bold an attitude when I come, as I count on taking toward some people who suspect me of acting from worldly motives.

That is why I write this while I am away from you, so that when I come, I may not have to be harsh in my use of the authority the Lord has given me, for it was to build you up, not to pull you down.

like Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I turned over to Satan, to be taught not to blaspheme.

Whosoever

Those who were regarded as the leaders??hat they once were makes no difference to me; God takes no account of external differences??he leaders contributed nothing new to me.

So from that time on, I have estimated nobody at what he seemed to be outwardly; even though I once estimated Christ in that way, I no longer do so.
