O senseless Galatians, who has bewitched you ??you who had Jesus Christ the crucified placarded before your very eyes?

I feel persuaded in the Lord that you will not go wrong. But he who unsettles you will have to meet his doom, no matter who he is.

82

Do take my line, brothers, I beg of you ??just as I once took yours. I have no complaint against you;

83

84

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

85

(an intermediary implies more than one party, but God is one).

86

let us have no vanity, no provoking, no envy of one another.

102

So with us. When we were under age, we lived under the thraldom of the Elemental spirits of the world;

103

These men make much of you ??yes, but for dishonest ends; they want to debar you from us, so that you may make much of them.

Now this is an allegory. The women are two covenants. One comes from mount Sinai, bearing children for servitude; that is Hagar,

106

would that I could be with you at this moment, and alter my tone, for I am at my wits' end about you!

107

for mount Sinai is away in Arabia. She corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for the latter is in servitude with her children.

108

For it is written, Rejoice, O thou barren who bearest not, break into joy, thou who travailest not; for the children of the desolate woman are far more than of the married.

122

To take an illustration from human life, my brothers. Once a man's will is ratified, no one else annuls it or adds a codicil to it.

129

You know the story of my past career in Judaism; you know how furiously I persecuted the church of God and harried it,

131

For through the Law I died to the Law that I might live for God;

132

I simply want to ask you one thing: did you receive the Spirit by doing what the Law commands or by believing the gospel message?

134

but now that you know God ??or rather, are known by God ??how is it you are turning back again to the weakness and poverty of the Elemental spirits? Why do you want to be enslaved all over again by them?

137

Here, listen to Paul! I tell you, if you get circumcised, Christ will be no use to you.

139

When He supplies you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, is it because you do what the Law commands or because you believe the gospel message?

142

See what big letters I make, when I write you in my own hand!

Then the Law is contrary to God's Promises? Never! Had there been any law which had the power of producing life, righteousness would really have been due to law,
